A year or two ago I stayed in an Airbnb with the literal worst DSL connection I’ve ever run into, just dog slow, took literal minutes to load a modern website. I have to imagine the benefit of Starlink is when your alternatives are so bad that it’s like having no internet access at all, it looks pretty good. But many people aren’t dealing with that, meaning that when you have better options, something like Starlink no longer looks all that necessary. But users who are in a position where real internet is a real luxury due to location, Starlink still has value, even if it’s obviously not perfect. Especially when compared to satellite internet options that are comically slow even compared to cable modem connections that were common more than a decade ago. Good critique, Jeff.
