Saying goodbye to Starlink before ever getting to use it after almost 2 years of being a “preorder”.

Update: Got my t-mobile router setup (which cost me $0 to use) and I’m getting 200mpbs down and 20 up.

Today I got an email from T-Mobile saying I could finally order the 5g home internet service. Which only cost $50 a month and the price is locked in and never change unlike Starlink. I “preordered” Starlink on the first day I could back in February 2021. It’s now September 2022 and I can happily say I was able to finally cancel my Starlink “preorder”. After being pushed from Mid 2021, Mid 2022 and now mid 2023 it feels great to get my $100 deposit back and be done with it. I’ve been using 1mpbs DSL internet from AT&T for 15 years and never was able to have it upgraded. Starlink was suppose to be my savior but it definitely failed me.

Edit: post got a lot more positive responses than expected. Also seems a lot of people who have used both Starlink and T-mobile 5g home internet services have had very positive experiences with the cheaper T-mobile option. I get my router today for T-Mobile and will update with my speeds once I have it officially installed.
