Yes, he’s partying hard with your $100 Canadian.
Shouldn't have to explain this. You seem like a fairly intelligent person. Pretty sure he took a deposit from more than one of us.

Dude, the $100 holds your place in line. There are 750,000 people in line. $100 x 750k is only $75M.

Now consider that most early starlink users paid $750 for hardware that cost spacex between $1500-$2000 to manufacture.

Dude. Only 75m??? Maybe that's chump change to a wealthy individual such as yourself, but I could quite easily live off the proceeds of that without ever touching the principal.

No arguing with hurkot on anything Musk, he’s a fan boy from way back, he would probably defend him if he was on the Epstein list for diddling little girls

Musk is worth $300 billion USD, to put that in perspective, that's more than all combined tax revenues for the government of Canada in a single year. He doesn't give a crap about your $100.

Like him or don't like him, but the guy could literally heat his house by burning $100 bills, and still not go broke.

He must have felt the crunch because I got a email asking to resubmit my order hahaha 😅

Maybe once the service is available in my area

Finally got around to installing it, speeds all over the map. The most optimistic test (iphone) shows 183 down, the slowest 44 down on a desk top. Regardless way better than the best day ever of 7 down with the smart hub. Could have lived with the Telus hub if it was consistent but the months on end during the summer when it was unusable was tough to take.
Anyone else have a glitch with the app where is shows it's offline/disconnected but still works?

At any rate telling Telus to FO is a itch I finally get to scratch....
