    Have they needed to? My mom has no high speed internet to her house. She signed up for Starlink like 2 years ago. Still on the waitlist.

      My coworkers mom signed up for it about 1.5 years ago and got connected about a year ago in rural WA. Are you sure you’re still on the list?

        Yeah, they were notified they’ll have the chance soon. I think it depends on your area. As I understand it, they were being very limited with accepting users as they continue to expand capacity.
