Starlink is also having a bad side-effect in other areas - apparently the frequencies on which it communicates muck up weather prediction technology[0]. I'm sure it works great if you're rural/have literally no other means but if you have the infrastructure for it, don't use Starlink.

- ghaff 4y agoNotwithstanding the complaints of the OP, Starlink is still a gamechanger in many less urban areas. The alternatives are often not tenable for remote work or even, really, for many things that a lot of people consider near-necessities. You don't even need to be in the middle of a wilderness area. My brother has a house 10 minutes outside of a smallish Maine city. And his only Starlink options were a 1Mbps down DSL and a very data-capped cellular hotspot. But a good wired connection is almost always going to be better.
