    Starlink is the disposable plastic of internet though. they are constantly losing satalites due to that low earth orbit, which are constantly being replaced.

    also being owned by a raging right wing fucktard that turns them off and on to suit his political whims does nothing to endear me to the service

        most people dont really care about the political ideology of the person who leads the company

        until he starts flipping switches in a immature and mentally underdeveloped tantrum. then they’ll suddenly start caring.

        Do people know the political views of most company heads? Difficult to say if people care if they don’t know. If those political views clearly harm you (e.g. anti-gay sentiment in 2010’s) then most of those affected would care?

        We can ignore politics but politics won’t ignore us, probably we aught to care what business do with the money we give them.

          Most people don’t know about the politics of company heads, cause they are at least smart enough to shut the fuck up about it in public.

          Unlike Musk, who tweets like an edgy teenager and is constantly putting the white hood on.

      The former is more of a technical one. LEO has (some) air drag, so anything there is temporary; and you need them in LEO to not have pings measured in seconds. But, as you stated, the CEO is…fucktarded. I’ll fully agree there!

      But, more importantly, that’s why I also mentioned cell networks. In the US, TMobile and Verizon home cell internet is competitive in quite a good percent of the country and worth looking into if you don’t like your current provider. TMobile’s is $50/mo, for example.
