Unfortunately it is not available in Sosua. It was about 5 months ago ?
Says they are expanding in 2023 ?

It works in Sosua, I'm sure
Just have ot shipped to Gasping Hernandez or elswhere and then change the service address

I did that - Nagua delivery, Cabrera service

Just measured my Cable del Norte speed. I signed up for 15 Mb/s down and 5 Mb/s up years ago.
The measured speed today is 76 Mb/s down and 31 Mb/s up and is about 3,680 RD monthly for the Internet portion of a the bill
(with a combo of having their virtually useless cable TV service),

No reason to even think about satellite service where I am for now.

all that data depends on when you test the internet speeds. If you check on a rainy day at night, you might find the speeds a lot slower when everyone is watching Netflix movies

I would expect trying to use two ISP's simultaneously would be messy at best:

[SOLVED] - Using two internet connections simultaneously ?

hi so i have two internet connections, one of which has really good download speed and no limit to how much i use it. The other one has insane ping and upload speed but limited traffic usage. i want to use both of them simultaneously one for downloading stuff and one only for my games, is there...

Very straightforward for someone that works in IT.

Sundays are usually slower due to high traffic..... lots of users

You really need to sign up for Greg's streaming service.

I have all I need and more. I already discussed that with Greg and he cannot do better than what I already have.
His service was more expensive as well, but could be very useful for others.

There are so many other options like the various FlixTor feeds as well.

Very straightforward for someone that works in IT.

I could figure it out and I don't work in IT, but I don't see the need for dueling ISP's,

Having one working ISP is all I need. One day, Kuiper or StarLink might be a better option than Cable Del Norte for me.
Competition is good for the consumer.

Not mbps

Internets speeds are typically given in mega bits per second (Mbps.) If the speed were MBps (mega bytes per second) that would be unusual.
Upload is indeed 5-15 mega bits per second (mbps) from the official Starlink site:

Starlink Internet Speeds - Starlink Hardware

Although it is still in the beta phase, Starlink internet speeds are competing with other broadband internet providers.

Official Starlink specifications​

Starlink has different service tiers: Residential, Business, RV, Best Effort, Maritime, and Aviation. The table below lists the speed and latency specifications for the consumer plans in the US market.

Service Tier	Download	Upload	Latency
Residential	20-100 mbps	5-15 mbps	25-50 ms

You’re right
It’s mbps

There is a separate thread here on DR1 where it was explained how to get around this problem (if you are reffering to Starlink wait-list). Got several kits here in the last few weeks and expecting to receive a few more in the next few days. All is working fine.
