2 AM UPDATE: Over 200 people have connected to our Starlinks here in Asheville the past 2.5 hours. It’s still the only way we’re able to connect with the outside world
Word is spreading, so I’m sure that number is going to SKYROCKET come sunrise
Don’t forget about these folks
🚨 ALERT: Asheville, NC is a TOTAL blackout zone, so we’ve set up TWO Starlink Stations for Public Use
Even NC State Police aren’t able to connect to cellular networks, so they’re using our Starlinks now.
SPOT 1:
DoubleTree Hilton Downtown
199 Haywood
SSID: SORTOR STARLINK
Pass: ncstrong
SPOT 2:
Asheville Shelter
Ferguson Building
340 Victoria Rd
SSID: HALL STARLINK
Pass: ncstrong
Spread this for ANYONE in the affected area. It’s been days since anyone’s been able to connect to cellular out here.
@ChrisHallWx and I have had these up and running for an hour, and I lost count of the amount of people that’ve told us they’ve FINALLY been able to connect with friends and family and let them know they’re okay 🙂
I’m sure this post will have someone run up my data bill just to troll me, but so be it.
We’ve connected Asheville back to the world! 🙌🏻
