    T-Mobile doesn’t exist in Spain, right?

      Genuine question: Why do you need to rely on starlink or wonder about T-mobile in Spain? Unless one lives in the middoe of nowhere, there’s a wide range of ISP’s which cover most of the territory and offer high-speed service over fibre. If you don’t want to give your money to the big providers, Digi has expanded immensely as of late and they’re quite cheap. Sorry if that came off as nosey, you probably had to choose starlink for a good reason and already know about ISP’s in Spain

        I have a dream of living full-time aboard a sailboat and sailing around the world, so I was excited about Starlink for the prospect of being able to get Internet access in the middle of the ocean. That was before Musk went completely off the fascist deep end, though; now I’m really hoping for a competitor to spring up before I get to my boat phase.

        Many people use StarLink because they’re not stationary.

  There is Eutelsat, but I’m not sure if they offer residential coverage. And EU is working on expansion.

    They are really bad, i need good internet because i work from home (and for other things).

      It depends

      They aren’t all bad. Modern 60Ghz is pretty solid especially if you aren’t crossing a big distance.

        My father-in-law has it contracted, he lives just a few minutes from here, and he always has a bad connection, with interruptions. He gets less than 5mb of download speed and practically nothing for upload. And don’t even get me started on the latency.
