Yesterday, Starlink shared an update email with subscribers in the company’s beta program. The email mentioned several recent improvements to Starlink’s product. An upcoming, major update was also mentioned:
Today, your Starlink speaks to a single satellite assigned to your terminal for a particular period of time. In the future, if communication with your assigned satellite is interrupted for any reason, your Starlink will seamlessly switch to a different satellite, resulting in far fewer network disruptions.
It sounds like the new feature may be rolled out gradually with most users getting the update sometime this month:
This feature will be available to most beta users in April and is expected to deliver one of our most notable reliability improvements to date.
