Starlink for RVs – No Waitlist

Starlink Logo

If you are receiving this email, you are currently on the waitlist for Starlink in your area. We are launching additional satellites as quickly as we can to expand network capacity in your region, and will fulfill your order as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we are now offering Starlink for RVs at any destination where Starlink provides active coverage. Currently there is no waitlist – all orders will be shipped shortly after the order is placed, including to “Waitlist” areas on the Starlink Availability Map. You can pause and un-pause service at any time.
Users can expect high speed, low latency internet in areas marked “Available”, and notably slower speeds during events with many collocated users, or during hours of peak usage in areas marked as “Waitlist”, where residential users are prioritized.  Prioritizing residential makes it possible to offer Starlink for RVs immediately with minimal impact to the most loaded portions of the network.
You can order Starlink for RVs directly from www.starlink.com/rv or by selecting the “+” button under “Your Starlinks” on your account page. To learn more about Starlink for RVs, please read our FAQ page.
Thank you for being a supporter of Starlink!

You’re invited to attend a virtual community town hall meeting to share your thoughts about the characteristics, experience and background you would like to see in the City’s next police chief. The City has selected the firm of Koff & Associates to conduct the search for the next police chief. The meeting will be facilitated by Recruitment Manager Frank Rojas. Zoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86459880033 Join by Phone: (669) 900-6833 Webinar ID: 864 5988 0033 According to Interim City Manager Cynthia Kurtz, “It’s important for the new city manager and City Council to know what qualities our citizens believe a chief of police must possess to best serve the interests of our city and our community. What we hear will bear heavily in our selection process.” Appointed by the city manager, the police chief plans, organizes, coordinates and directs the overall public safety program of the City in the enforcement of law and order and in the prevention of crime; and coordinates assigned activities with other departments and outside agencies. This includes ensuring the department provides courteous and expedient customer service to the public and City department staff, and assumes full management responsibility for all department services and activities.
