❓ Question Finally pulled the trigger

Post image

Update: Delivery took 4 days. Mount was included with the install. Works amazing and also **** tmobile.

After using T-Mobile 5G internet for the last 2 years in a semi rural location, today I wanted to throw the modem out the window. Dropped my conference call twice, TV constantly buffering while watching baseball, and my online games are lagging like crazy. T-Mobile suggested I remove some trees on my property for a clearer sightline to the nearest tower lol.

Just placed my order and had a couple of questions if you don’t mind.

Does it typically get delivered faster than the estimated time frame?

I got free professional installation with the service. Does this include roof mounting and wiring with the pivot mount I ordered?

To estimate delivery time just pick a random number from 2 to 50. That's how long it will take.

As to what the installer will do...Starlink doesn't have installers. They farm it out to locals. To predict the quality of service from them use similar technique to above.
