Thanks in advance.
I've been using Starlink since Febuary, and I'm out by Okotoks. I work from home and I'm in the networking field so it was a great upgrade over 25mbps Telus smart hub service. I had the same issue as you, short somewhat frequent outages. For me it ended up being the starlink router\access point itself, not the satellite connectivity itself. The included router is pretty poor in terms of functionality and wireless coverage. I disabled the Starlink wireless and ran a Asus RT-AC86u connected to the Starlink router and my connectivity issues stopped. I've since swapped the Asus out for some Ubiquiti products, and again no issues. So I would start by trying a better router\access point rather than the included Starlink unit.
