Alternative to Cox? I don’t think you have actually tried Starlink, otherwise you wouldn’t say that. For me, bandwidth is between 60Mbps and 100Mbps. Latency 5

For me, bandwidth is between 60Mbps and 100Mbps. Latency 50-100ms. But the worst is how unreliable it is. Muktisecond blackouts many times during the day and subsecond time-outs many times per hour.
SSH over Starlink is pretty painful.
In best case it’s an alternative to wireless service providers, but otherwise I would get a stable reliable 25Mbps DSL over Starlink any day.
- coverj 4y agoJust in the interest of balance I am very happy with Starlink, I usually range between 90-120Mbps and 30-60ms latency. It can be a little patchy to play latency sensitive games on (guessing these are the sub seconds timeouts you mention), I swap to tethering my phone for that but day to day (zoom meetings, etc) I have found starlink to be a massive upgrade on the alternatives available in Australia. In 12~ months as a customer I think I've tethered my phone for a zoom call once.
