Correction: no they didn’t order anything. They haven’t held the hearing yet.

Oh, that was absolute highway robbery. But we had no other options and they knew it. They robbed us blind, and we dropped them the instant starlink became available.

Yeaaah, here in the US DSL is more like 6/1.5 at best. And no, that’s not a typo.

Those of us subscribed to Starlink aren’t here because we have options. Honestly, it’s decent. IIRC it’s $110/mo for on average 300 down 15 up. Is that amazing? No. Is fiber better? Yes. But they’re not marketing to people who have fiber as an option. They’re marketing to people like me, who used to pay $460/mo for 60/15 microwave internet with frequent downtime -and- data caps. If you have to ask “but which one is better”, the simple answer is generally fiber > starlink > cable > microwave > dsl/satellite > dialup. And I refuse to rank 5G service because that depends on too many factors.

I use it (begrudgingly, but options out here suck), you’re wrong. It’s closer to 70-80ms at worst. Though it has definitely improved over time, it may have been worse during the early beta.
