Starlink is space junk to start with.

    It's hard to say that unequivocally; I have family members who's internet options are HughesNet, where they get data caps and speeds approaching a whopping 1mbps on a good day, 5g coverage that hardly works, or Starlink. Starlink has worked for them leeeaaaguesss better than any other option they have.

    Doesn't change the issues with the company or Elon, though. It just sucks that they are the only currently viable solution.
