The irony is that of all of these fraudsters, Starlink would be the most reasonable to have data caps to begin with.

The irony is that of all of these fraudsters, Starlink would be the most reasonable to have data caps to begin with.
- wmf 6y agoIt would be great if Starlink could innovate an alternative to data caps since they're a very crude way to manage congestion.

When the network is free you can use up to your burst speed, but the network is guaranteed to be large enough to support your minimum speed. During congestion, all packets beyond your minimum speed are at a lower priority and will be dropped as needed.
- wmf 6y agoMinimum speeds tend to be tricky because they depend on the density of customers (if your neighbor signs up your minimum goes down) and they tend to be very low, like 1 Mbps.
