Don’t you have fiber available?
Elon’s a straight up Bond villain. I feel guilty for owning a Starlink, but it’s the only high speed internet in my area. Ridiculous that this pricks behaviour means that I now have to justify using his services.

Trust me I know what’s living in a rural area is like US or not.

It helps if you live in a country where the ISPs don’t have a monopoly. They are forced to provide high speed internet to pretty much everyone just in case the competition does it first.

It is weird to think that you have been rural in various places but still expected fiber somewhere.
We don’t even have cell signal here. It took 3 years to get electricity.
And I am only an hour from the capital of canada.

Sadly no, just fiber to the cabinet, then cooper to the house. When I called the provider to tell them I was switching to Starlink they said there were ‘curently no plans’ for fiber to the premises in my area, so I suspect it’ll be a few years away at the very least.
Annoyed to be paying money to that dick, but it’s literally 10x faster at 420mb, which is what I’m getting now.

You have fiber to the pole and the best you old ISP could do was 42 Mbps? That’s fucked, on my rural all copper network we had a 100 and 200mbps option. Expensive, but available. I only switched to fiber to spite Spectrum(CharterComm)

Bond Villains are intelligent and have charm and sophistication.
Musk has none of those.
