- Retric 4y agoYes, but it’s broken up into thousands of different areas and Starlink didn’t agree to provide service to every single one. Looking at this map: https://www.starlink.com/map https://www.starlink.com/map about half of the US is at maximum capacity but because the RDOF has such granularity they could pick and pick the lest congested areas for their bids. PS: The granularity is reasonable when you consider a Texas ISP might have agreed to build out capacity in Texas but not North Dakota.
