- metabagel 3y agoStarlink isn’t the only nor the first satellite internet provider.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoIt is for high speed low latency.
- stcredzero 3y ago> Starlink isn’t the only nor the first satellite internet provider. It seems to be doing the best job so far at providing reduced latency while scaling coverage fast. From what I've seen, everyone else was stuck in a niche mentality, willing to milk that niche with high prices. Starlink is the first thing to come along aimed at completely solving last mile for out of the way locations.

- Difwif 3y agoDid you actually use HughesNet or Viasat? It absolutely sucked compared to Starlink on both price and performance. I really don't understand why everyone feels the need to dunk on Starlink (probably musk related). It is an order of magnitude improvement.
- DarmokJalad1701 3y agoOkay. What kind of bandwidth and latency was possible out over the ocean prior to Starlink (or with current alternatives, if any)?
