Been using it since it was first available. Latency is fine, speeds are good and steady. Occasional outages of several hours every few months or so, but improving as time goes on.

Only complaint is that their DHCP server is buggy so if you don't use their blessed router, you can expect outages when you get transitioned to a new base station and starlink expects your IP to have changed, but it doesn't, or sometimes when your IP lease expires. Took me months to figure out that was the issue. I run almalinux on my router so I just have a script that checks a heartbeat and if it gets interrupted it will nmcli down the wan interface and back up, which usually gets a new IP. Though sometimes it will give the special IP to my router that is supposed to go to the blessed router.

Overall I do recommend, but have a backup ISP if always up is important.
