    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.

        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.

            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.

      My parents have starlink and I’m really impressed with it. It’s very reliable
