One can see Elon's influence on the product. The router/switch/wap combo box is a trapezoidal prism that plugs in on the bottom because that's the only right angle mounting point. It even has a neat voyager looking emblem that looks like it's supposed to light up and be a constant nuisance, but doesn't. I think the dish would be curved and lower performance if the project had held Elon's attention.
But, from a technical perspective there's little to complain about. The service fires up for the first time in about five minutes. It works anywhere I can get a small patch of sky and doesn't object when I load the connection to sail the open seas.
I've two complaints: It runs on DC but lacks a DC power connection, meaning I eat the loss on AC-to-DC conversion and bypass the benefit of my DC rectifier. And, the mounting pole doesn't fold all the way back, greatly increasing the required storage space. Both complaints are common a large customer segment: vehicle dwellers.
