SpaceX recently revealed that it had 3,230 orbital Starlink satellites placed in operational positions, out of a total of 3,267 currently in orbit
The company has also been deploying Gateway “Megasites” for its second-generation Starlink satellites, as spotted in a filing in the UK. This will allow Starlink to reach some of the world’s most remote regions.
The SpaceX Starlink satellite internet service is also set to arrive in the Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada in 2023.
Starlink will roll out to 127 occupied housing units on the reserve areas across the Qu’Appelle Valley, where nearly 80% of the community’s homes are located.

It is the best option for those living outside of urban centers and have little to no access to broadband speeds whether they be point to point wireless, fiber optic, or copper wire, I know quite a few people who have signed on already.
I have had mine for about a week and no complaints here at all. I was paying Bell between $300-$400 a month for stable internet but slow. Around 10-20mbps. The problem with Bell is the 100GB soft cap. You can go over but pay through the nose for it at $5GB. With Starlink I can now do things once out of reach here like streaming Netflix all for $140 plus HST. Mind you there will be a soft cap with Starlink come February but that is if one were to go over 1TB.
wow, what an upgrade! that is awesome. thanks for sharing.
