This is spot on for me. I live in a low-density community that got telcom early and the infrastructure has yet to be upgraded. So, despite being a relatively wealthy area, we suffer from poor service and have to choose between flaky high latency high bandwidth (Starlink) and flaky low latency low bandwidth (DSL). I’ve chosen the latter to this point. Point to point wireless isn’t an option because of the geography.
- genewitch 1y agostarlink isn't high latency in the US, it's less latency than at&t was on fixed wireless, but about the same as at&t dsl was to the same sites. You're not gunna be an LPB, but 43ms avg from deep south to northeastern US isn't bad. I also like that my internet is essentially immune to whims of weather and power companies and fiber cuts - there was a fiber cut yesterday in Monroe and it took out at&t completely in my area, hundreds of miles away.
