Ok, I'm confused... on the Starlink map page it lists the areas as:
-available
-waitlist
-coming soon
So, what does their map mean if it's not related to service availability?
For example, if someone is in the "waitlist" area and they had an RV package, would their performance be different than if they move to an "available" area?
All of the areas where we typically stay are in the "waitlist" coverage areas, including the area where a friend installed a residential package last winter and had very intermittent results... maybe things are better there now, but it still shows the same "waitlist" coverage. Oh, and BTW they did ship the residential unit to his address, so I'm still confused as to what their mapping means. IOW, if "available" merely means available to ship, he got is shipped to his address that is in a "waitlist" zone... so seems like it refers to the service availability? Do you have info from Starlink to clear this up?
Thanks!
