  Yeah, they were notified they’ll have the chance soon. I think it depends on your area. As I understand it, they were being very limited with accepting users as they continue to expand capacity.

  Compared to fiber, yeah. I pay $39 for 300mb fiber. But if that’s not available and you have satellite, it’s competitive. Blows the pants of Hughesnet - 40x faster, way lower latency, for a similar price and no data caps.

  Have they needed to? My mom has no high speed internet to her house. She signed up for Starlink like 2 years ago. Still on the waitlist.

  I like the idea of electric cars, may purchase one, but they don’t make sense for everyone at this point. The infrastructure isn’t there, they’re very expensive, the range isn’t practical for some, and many of the choices are unreliable. I applaud those who can make them work, but they’re not for everyone yet.
