Starlink's been out of public beta for a while. But the customer experience isn't getting better—it's _worse_.Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/...
Americans deploy fiber optic with :brrrrrrrrrrrr: challenge impossible
Some people have said Starlink is like the one Elon Musk thing that isn't total bullshit, but it absolutely is too. The network can't handle a very high load at all unless they basically make so many satellites it triggers a Kessler ablation cascade which will destroy any satellite placed into low earth orbit, as well as pose a significant risk for anything passing through that zone, for hundreds of years.
Well, the good news about Starlink is that they're low enough that even if they all spontaneously exploded low orbit would only be unusable for at most six months before all the debris fell back and burned up.
