What I broke today...........

[Onoff]

Lad has contacted Starlink and they've called him from the States pretty much straight away. They reckon their records show it "fell offline" during a software update. Told him to check and take pics of the lead plugs both ends. If OK they'll send a new dish FOC. Even though it was bought through Costco they'll deal direct with us and give a dedicated RTM number etc.

So far can't fault the service. Go Elon!

Going up on the roof now with head torches. Not sure how the lead plugs in to the dish, I thought it was hardwired...

Its an odd waterproof plug, that needs a 20mm hole to go through the wall, up the stand, into a socket on the dish support tube side. Careful getting it out cable is quite stiff.

Don't do a Rod Hull....

Nope, like a mini HDMI. Pokes up way into the dish support tube. Rubber gaskets. All bone dry:

It was installed well. Cable clipped with slack where necessary so no strain on anything.

Gobsmacked at the Starlink customer service! Lad went through the obvious checks they asked he do. Think it was a "one of us moment", a bit of a nerd love in!

They're sending a new "Starlink activation kit" out foc. We then send the old stuff back at our leisure.

Painless, polite, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable service.

Thats excellent service.

Thats excellent service.

Within a couple of hours from contacting them, you're telling me! A great advert for them too. Personal service to boot with a real person.

It would take longer than that to get through the “your call is important to us, because we have no staff hold times are excessive” process of many large organisations….press 1 for an AI answer or go on line for more help!

Today, I broke some plasterboard.

My understairs cupboard, that just collects stuff that I can't get at, easily.
This alteration is ahead of a major change to the bathroom/passage area that I've been thinking about for too long.
Maybe then I can complete my UFH project which I started July 2018
