At a specific frequency.
The effect is similar to how a nearer radio station at a given frequency -- will typically block out others that are at the same frequency, yet farther away...
But does a strong radio station nearby mean that all other radio stations at all other radio frequencies are simultaneously blocked?
No -- someone can simply turn the dial and tune in to a different radio frequency, and listen to another "unblocked" / "unjammed" station...
If Starlink frequency hops, that is, automatically changes its frequency if bands of the RF spectrum are blocked -- then it will be much more difficult for the state actor to block all of them at the same time -- especially if each individual Starlink subscriber could frequency hop with no pre-set pattern, that is, independent of all of the others...
