It is insanely good. Out of this world.

A few years ago I spent 3 years driving around Africa and looked into satellite internet options from all the existing providers. Any plan that offered anything remotely close to 1GB per month was 5x the cost of the entire 3 year expedition.

This WILL change the world.

But if you are driving (and thus can haul unlimited weight including huge solar panels, batteries and inverters) it seems like the existing Starlink dish would be fine, and this looks like might be worse since it doesn't have automatic orientation.
Sure, now Starlink works.

What I'm saying is Starlink in general is a complete world-changer compared to just 5 years ago.

This mini just continues that trend.
