Hi everyone,

I wrote an extensive review  on Starlink in Nairobi / Kenya. I wanted to update this with some additional information I gathered the last few weeks, especially since the sale has been extended to June 10th.

Thunderstorms: The service does drop during severe thunderstorms and the very heavy rains that happen these days. However, it's usually for a few seconds, minutes max. Compared to the many days without internet we had during rains, this is actually an improvement for anyone who struggles with their ISP during the rains.

Gaming: I don't play particularly much but because people had asked I tested it during different times of the day and with different games... it works without issue. I have been playing COD and The Finals on European servers with very few issues. Latency hovers around 100ms - which is just fine. It's a huge improvement compared to before though - as on fibre internet, I would get 200-220ms to Europe and often not very well stocked servers in the Middle East.

Speeds: These continue to amaze me. I did a lot more testing and usually, when the weather isn't too bad, clouds are no problem, you get north of 200mbps. During rains, it will go down to around 100. During thunderstorms, it can drop below 40. I tend to get more and more above 300mbps speeds - not sure if this is because the dish has fully adjusted to the location but it's honestly great to see.

Customer Service: I also had some conversations with customer service, asking them about how to get the most out of the dish and about their future plans. I also had to cancel an accessory order. The customer service is very responsive, much more so than our Kenyan ISPs.

Hope this is helpful for some.
