Living rural I go up against the Champions of Starlink over and over. Been in the ISP & computer business over 30 years but what do I know?
They don't give a shit their shipping $150 a month to the USA into the hands of Elon Musk, and they're sure never gonna admit cable is cheaper and faster up North.
If you live where you can't get anything else it's fine. But recommending it to your own Grandmother in town is assholic.

There are other sat internet companies out there, so you don't have to give your money to the South African Nazi.

Even Ukraine is exploring other carriers.

They tell you they don't service our area if you call. They always DID under their old name.
Just as Telus says I can't get the Hub at my address, but the people on the even side of it can.
The COMPUTER says!

We have a WISP in the area, used to be my business 12 yrs ago. Services many areas with several mountain top transmitters. Funny how people know "line of sight" means you can SEE the tower when a big company mentions it, but we always got called bullshitters - your shit just 'doesn't work'.
Serviced lots of people's computers with Starlink and at these latitudes it isn't that fast. ~250 is the best I've seen. In Stewart BC/Hyder Alaska it tested ~40-60 that's all. Good enough for most.

I live where there's no fibre. 120 on my iPhone and 120 cable is good enough for both work and home streaming on a couple Firesticks at the same time.

Colossal fuck up. One phone call.

Simply amazing.

Looks like we might be getting some LG battery plants, because no one is going to invest in the US for the next 4 years.
