Starlink doesn't work if the rest of America's or Europe's internet goes down, it's just a theoretical new point for connection, but it is still plugged in through all the ground based servers and receivers. Satellite connections have been around for a long time they're just expensive and usually suck, which starlink doesn't seem to be changing
Can confirm. I've had it a couple months, and it doesn't work that great. The speed is insanely better than hughesnet, but it's still spotty. At least they don't throttle my data.
They did however already raise the monthly cost by $20 the first month we had it. Elon must be hemorrhaging money
This is it. There will be no uprising until the internet goes down, and now that starlink exists, I don't see that being a thing.
