Starlink

We use a Starlink system over two years now, while traveling through Europe. Everywhere we go we have internet and (streaming) television from our home country (the Netherlands). Flawless.

As long as you have a more or less clear view of the sky, internet will run. With some trees, interruptions may occur but for internet and streaming TV no probs. Realtime stuff like gaming and teleconferencing will suffer more from interruption, but we don't game and rarely have the need for teleconferencing. A whatsapp call with our (grand)children always survives.

Yes, nowadays it bothers us a bit that it is Elon M and the US providing this, but there's no alternative and it will take a long time untill.

Customer service of Starlink is more than great, pricing is reseonable and the system impresses me as an electrical engineer. More than 8500 satelites in a flawless handover sequence. Check out this site and impress yourselve.
