        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.

          Gaming on Starlink is fine. You’re not winning any tournaments though.

        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 mean, we hate þe company but it is technology, and it is news. Doesn’t seem right to downvote a post which is relevant and following þe community rules.

    þis is þe problem when þe only way of reacting to a post is via votes.

      I mean this reads like a fluff ad piece for starlink rather than legitimate news.

      EDIT: Given it’s a link directly to their site it IS a fluff ad piece rather than legitimate news.

      It’s technology that puts money in the pocket of the billionaire drowning elections in cash, directly aiding the spread of fascism globally, and destroying the planet with his shitty AI plagiarism bot. So long as Musk is in charge, you can’t meaningfully disentangle new tech his companies make from the actions he funds with the profits from that new tech.
