We have it at our northern summer home (rural lake area). I installed it myself. Basically you use the phone app which helps you find a suitable location. Otherwise, it's a self pointing dish when it comes to fine tuning. As long as you're comfortable mounting something on your home using a ladder and a drill, the installation should not be a big issue.

You will have to plan how you run the cable into the house from the outside to the Starlink provided modem/wifi router. I drilled a hole in the house and used spray foam to reseal the hole.

Performance wise it's just as fast as normal city cable or DSL internet.
