You're right most of the time. I have had a 99% "unnoticeable" experience with Starlink in rural Canada. I definitely still experienced rain fade during heavy rain storms and occasional clear-sky blips for 30s-2min or so. Vastly superior to anything else I've used for Internet access in remote areas for sure, but not perfect. I have also experienced longer-term (30 min or so) service degradations where the connection stayed up but the bandwidth dropped to ~10Mbit/1Mbit.
Most of the time no one would notice. For some applications it's definitely something that needs to get designed in.
- gwbas1c 1y agoThat's very similar to my experience with Comcast in downtown Palo Alto in 2010. A 99% "unnoticeable" experience, and then a multi-day outage caused by a massive storm. I still occasionally get blips on Comcast, mostly late at night when I'm one of the few who notices.
