My 24 month Telus deal expired, so from $85 to $120...  Saw they had a deal for $55/mo for there low service.  They offered me $80 for same service so I said I'd just cancel go to Shaw for 2 years..  On hold for about 15 I suppose.  Eventually they offered $49.25/mo...  Fine I'll stay...  It's a better service than I had..  That's what interweb fees should be...  $50/mo...

Starlink satellites create light pollution and disrupt radio frequencies. And it's getting worse

Thousands of satellites in low-Earth orbit are still lighting up the sky, frustrating astronomers

Anyone have internet service through Costco? Thoughts?

Do you have to buy your Costco internet service in huge quantities in order to realize any savings?

It’d be nice if you could attach a tiny Starlink to an airplane window and get ultra fast internet on your flight. Not every plane offers onboard wifi.

I see that Amazon has the 8" Amazon Fire tablet on sale right now for almost 50% off.

 

I have a few and quite like them.  

 

If you are looking for an extra no-fuss and pretty rugged screen for the garage or the bathroom, or the kitchen or the car glove box, or camping, you can't beat this little thing.

Note that this is only for the stationary, residential packages.

If you have a roam package, which is typical of travelers and campers, it doesn't apply.

 

I'm still on Starlink stand-by myself, waiting for the Mini to arrive in Canada, to which I'll apply the roaming package.
