There's a massive number of people for who the options are Starlink, or no Internet.

A lot of users here really can't wrap their head around just how remote some people are. And then there's vessels at sea etc.

    We had Starlink for a few months when we moved into our house. It was a new build and we were one of the first in the neighborhood, so the telecoms hadn’t laid out wire yet.

    It was honestly great. We’d get almost a gig down and never really had any connection issues unless it was heavy snow.

    My in laws live in the middle of nowhere and they went from I want to say hughsnet to Starlink and it’s been night and day for them.
