Could the obstructions during the day be due to the ionosphere and propagation?

Yes, but congestion causes speed drops. Should not cause "obstructed" events.The other question might be the simple and accurate one - is utilization higher during the day?...
It hasn't slowed down for me - still averaging about 100 mbps. Speed varies a lot; just now got speeds of 80 mbps in one test, then 180 mbps in the next.Starlink is getting a lot slower as more people use it, speed tests show

This is where I've been since within a couple weeks of installing. It's working so much better than anything I've had at home for 17 years, and I am able to remote into work without issues - something I've never been able to do before. As long as those things are working, I don't sit and run speed tests or obstruction checks. I might open the SL app once every other week at this point except to show someone new how it works.It hasn't slowed down for me - still averaging about 100 mbps.

I have finally managed to not obsess about the speed or interruptions. I don't check them unless someone mentions them.
I got two firmware updates in the last week or so.
Do you have your auto heat turned on?We've had two significant outages over the past couple of days - 10 minutes or longer. It hailed at the house pretty hard yesterday and it went out for about 10 minutes, and today we had some heavy snow fall and my wife said there was about 20 minutes where she couldn't connect to anything online.
Hoping this isn't persistent. With the early arrival of winter this year, that could really suck.
Yes. Heat is on. Perhaps it was that same outage . I was at work, so not much I could do about it anywayDo you have your auto heat turned on?
I think it was the day before yesterday, there was a global outage (reported in the USA, UK and NZ) reported on Reddit. It lasted about 10 minutes for me.
