Testing internet on speedtest.net at midnight.
Weboost on:
I have 2 bars and get 3.2Mbps.
She has 2 bars and is getting 25Mbps.

Daytime test 5:00 pm.
WeBoost off:
I get 2 bars and 0.88Mbps
She gets 2 bars and 3.63Mbps
WeBoost on:
I get 2 bars and 2.4Mbps
She gets 4 bars and 40.9Mbps

I have heard of another trick to do with the WeBoost.
If you have a weak indoor antenna ( some models do, not a problem with the WeBoost Destination model, it reaches end to end on our 35' 5er).
Lay a cell phone on top of the inside antenna and make it a wifi Hotspot for the rest of your devices to connect to.
Thanks Daryl, good review!

I keep wondering what the mobile Starlink antennas and service will be like. It is rumoured to come before the end of the year.

We have some clients who have installed the fixed antennas and they are raving fans. Truly unlimited for $100/month, good latency (almost always very good for video conferencing), and speeds of 100-300mbs down and 30-50mbs upload. If that becomes available in a mobile unit, I think it will be very appealing.
