  Absolutely, but Musk specifically said weather wouldn’t be a problem like regular satellites, which was just not true from my experience.

  Overall though, I just think people should be aware that it’s not a good replacement for if you already have access to other Internet services. I’ve seen people discuss how they want to ditch Comcast for it. It’s a lot more expensive and definitely not as consistent. Again, it totally has an audience and purpose, pros and cons.

    DISH says the same crap about satellite TV. Physics doesn’t lie.
