Its simple like many Musk projects he over promises and under delivers.
Starlink performance is slow and unreliable. Sometimes you get 100 Mbps and sometimes you get < 1 Mbps with the average being around 25. So it cant even really be considered broadband.
It’s faster than my old fiber connection through Telus up here in Canadia and also means I can look at any hamlet with power as a viable place to live now. We are never down for more the 2 seconds a day.

Really? Shit. I was planning to move to starlink but let me do some research.
I had Starlink too and it was definitely unreliable. It’s also absolutely atrocious in any kind of weather like heavy rain or snow.
It’s better than nothing for sure, but definitely look into it more, especially if you’ll be relying on it for work.
Because it’s satellite!
It’s also generally better than dsl.

My parents have starlink and I’m really impressed with it. It’s very reliable
Doesn’t match my experience. The worst thing about it is ping, but download is mostly always around 100-200.
