Starlink Update Being Pushed Out

Got a notice from Subaru telling me that "Your vehicle is eligible for a 
complimentary STARLINK system update." Confused me at first since my 
initial thought was "a map update?" but further reading told me that the 
carrier that does the cellular communications for Starlink is shutting down 
its 3G service nationwide and the magic box that does the comm in my 2018 
Outback would need to be replaced/upgraded for free. I don't know if Subies 
newer than mine were also 3G or if they had changed newer years to 4G from 
the factory. They estimate a 2+ hour period for the dealer to make the 
change. Guess I'll call the dealer tomorrow and see if they even have the 
new gizmos in stock.

Come to think of it two months ago the people from ADT alarms did a radio 
upgrade on my home alarm system for the same reason. Guess 3G is a dead 
duck now.
