I can imagine that some people would not prefer their current provider if their current provider is, say, Charter. I suspect people might willingly leap into a dark pit filled with who knows what over continuing with Charter.
- excalibur 6y agoOr Comcast.
- shakezula 6y agoComcast was my only provider for 3 years. There were times I almost considered just canceling the contract and tethering on my phone because of how bad Comcast was.
- olyjohn 6y agoI've been on Starlink for a few months. It's honestly been a pain in my ass, and nowhere near as reliable as Comcast. But I am being patient and waiting, because right now it's worth it to me just to tell Comcast to fuck right off. Starlink has been improving though quite a lot just since I got it... so I'll keep giving it time.
- DangitBobby 6y agoI thought starlink was for people living in rural areas with no real broadband alternatives.
- cozzyd 6y agoYeah, any place with comcast broadband is almost certainly a poor fit for Starlink due to the limited total bandwidth over a geographic region.
- DangitBobby 6y agoMy parents' only option for broadband right now is mobile hotspots. Unless you count traditional satellite internet, which I do not.
- kixiQu 6y agoSo that tells you how someone feels about Comcast's "real broadband alternative"
- spullara 6y agoI must be on some special list at Comcast. Every time I have had to deal with them lately for changing service or helping debug an outage their online chat has been extremely competent and solved the problem. Which is a big change from years ago.
