I've been very happy with Starlink after NBN dropped the ball here and drove me away. Until now I've been on the Residential Full plan at AU$139 / month. Most of my computers are connected over Wifi and here's the speed test I was getting:
I decided to try Residential Lite which is said to be a lower speed and lower priority in busy times. Here's what I get now:
Still pretty good. My guess is that the busy times when I might see reduced speed due to congestion would be in the evenings when people are streaming video but so far I haven't noticed it.
I do see a bit of buffering just after a YouTube video starts playing on the Apple TV box but I saw that before and assume it's some networking mis-match. Lengthy multi-party Zoom calls work as well as before.
Residential Lite is AU$99 / month so that's $40 a month freed up for ham radio bits.
