I’m a starlink customer and think it’s one of the best advancements in the past decade as it provides real access to rural addresses. The side effects of this is nearly immeasurable.
Spacex needs to STFU about this though. Fiber should continue to be deployed where possible.

all you can eat latency and an oversaturated network on devices with a limited lifespan.. what else could you ask for!

Starlink has much better latency than most satellites, but still 10 to 50 times as much as fiber.

ha yeah... not having to make a 340 mile round trip instead of the hundreds of feet to the nearest router will do that

Just for reference, I get about 45-50 ping playing Marvel Rivals on Starlink.

So if my ping is currently 90ms, it’ll become 900ms - 4.5s?

A subscription that somehow still manages to use surge pricing? I’m assuming that’s the next logical step.

Well, to be fair, the dishes do make great outdoor cat beds!
