I used to, pre-22 floods.

It was slow, high latency with poor support.

Ended up shelling out $3000 for a roof mounted antenna with a mobile signal booster pointed at a tower 30km away.

Which was way better until they shutoff 3G and didnt bother to replace it with anything. The 4G signal is much noisier and hugely congested.

The skymuster gear is gathering dust.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience with them.

Haven't used it in 4 years or so. It's probably a lot better these days since 90% of its users have moved onto starlink, so not as much congestion.

Won't fix the latency though. And I'm sure they still have the pitiful quotas and rate limiting.

Used to. Was terrible but that was 7 years ago, not sure if it's improved since then
