From the article, sounds like their currently contracted satellite connections are having trouble due to lingering volcanic ash. Would Starlink fare any better against volcanic ash?
- Retric 5y agoYes, multiple LEO connections allow different paths through the atmosphere some of which should avoid most of the cloud. Meanwhile geostationary orbits for example are all going to be in a narrow angle in the sky and therefore more vulnerable to local atmospheric interference. Of note people where still able to use several satellite services.
