Phone -> Starlink Sat for the initial connection. That then pings to a starlink groundstation, then it gets routed over their fiber to T-Mobile over the internet (its all just data going over fiber anyway).

- kelseydh 2y agoBut with starlink internet as far as I know they bypass traditional ISP's.
- esskay 2y agoWhy would that make a difference? You're not connecting to tmobile's network directly, you're connecting to starlinks, they're just routing traffic as part of their deal. It's effectively a glorified proxy service.
