My parents live in the rain forest in the mountains of Panama. They struggle with slow ADSL that goes to hell whenever moisture gets into the lines or it rains.

My parents live in the rain forest in the mountains of Panama. They struggle with slow ADSL that goes to hell whenever moisture gets into the lines or it rains. It's the rainy season now, and you can imagine it rains often in the rain forest. Their internet is awful, we try to time or Skype calls for when it is not raining. They can boost the signal slightly by leaving their phone off the hook. Sometimes they tether with a weak signal on 3g. They are so eagerly awaiting the public availability of starlink. I think in the cities of the developed world we don't realize how big this going to be for rural dwellers and people in the developing world.
