      Thank you so much ! /s Come and join me where the options are many and the price is so cheap. /s /s

      If you’d like to experience what it’s like to access the internet sans Starlink, perhaps you could just throttle your modem to 8 or even 10 Mbps. Yes? No? Then consider how lucky you are, and have some empathy for those of us who have little or no alternative.

        Your options are limited not by random angry dude on the Internet, but by deliberate and calculated lack of development conspired between legislators and telecoms. Starlink will hit the limits imposed by physics and geometry, and then will get worse and worse the more people sign up.

          You seem to know a lot about these limits, can you elaborate?

          I don’t think there are actual physics limitations on network capacity right now

        “I know millions of people use their service because it’s the only real option they have, but because it’s associated with this one guy I don’t like, they can all eat a dick!”

            Them: “We need a strong central government to protect everyone!”

            Me: “Don’t do that! If bad people get control there’s gonna be trouble!”

            Them: “You just hate people!” votes for strong government

            Them when that strong government is then taken over by bad people: 😯
