    Co. Westmeath. But a friend of mine and myself also checked for a Laois and Offaly address, once my order became available, and they have gone live for immediate purchase.

    So, if you're anywhere between Mullingar and Port Laoise, then you're in luck :)

    Didn't get to set it up yesterday.

    Stuck it on the back lawn today, cable out the window. It's a bit intermittend, as it collects telemetry the first 12 hours. Also the router and dish need an upgrade, which I haven't done yet.

    Best test so far:

    IPs are geotagged for Ireland, as they are supposed to. Their router seemingly is OpenWRT based, which is a plus. Ping times, I've seen as low as 35ms.

    Impressive ...

    so as I said, I just hooked it up adhoc on the back lawn, which is sort of surrounded by trees and it worked, but I did have regular packet loss.

    After a few hours, the app shows me this:

    Those red obstructions are my trees ... perfect way to illustrate it.

    I've now moved the dish to the front yard, where it has a clear view of the sky and will see, how that goes. Eventually, it's going on the roof.

    Here is visibility with my antenna attached to chimney in Dublin (taken a few days ago). Note how smooth the curved edge is. This smoothness built up gradually (changed from black to blue) and today it is a totally smooth blue curve as more sats lower in the sky were successfully accessed. Perfect (touch wood).

    As of Friday the 15.10.2021 (so Friday gone) all of Ireland is available for Starlink.

    And yes, I've got my dish running 1 1/2 weeks now ... after moving it out of the obstructions, I had on the first day, it's been flawless.
