I would rather go without internet than put a dime in SpaceX's/Musk's pocket.

    the fucking things are ubiquitous here in Tasmanian, I caught the bus to town the other day and saw dozens of the antennas on roofs as we went by :(

    It’s a testament to how terrible internet access around the world has been. Starlink is literally the only option for a lot of folks. It’s not cheap and it’s not fast. You only use it if you don’t have other options available.

    I can't wait for Telesat's system to be up and running for consumer use... (right now I think it's business only...)

    I'll give canada my money (if Fiber becomes unavailable in my area that is)

    But gaming via satellite sucks ass.
