Due to the design of satellite based internet they are fundamentally limited on how many dishes they can support in a certain area while still achieving advertised bandwidth rates.
There is a very, very high probability that if they allowed people to move starlink transceivers/dishes around that a number of areas would end up with higher concentrations than wanted, and starlink would have a lot of angry customers.
- ianai 5y agoI wonder if a minimal location change rate or policy would work? If if your coordinates don’t change often enough then you get rate limited gradually down to a HughesNet rate. Want mobility? Then it’s 1/10th the speed while you’re outside your home region. Stay in a region long enough and you get the worst rates or a change of region. Oh and charge differently for different regions.
