Yeah I get that, and there’s a lot of products and services whose company values I don’t subscribe to but I still use them because the alternatives aren’t viable. If you’re OK with 1+ second latency (which makes something as simple as SSH insufferable and online gaming impossible) and 20Mbit speeds, well, good for you.
- lostlogin 1y agoIf that was the scenario I was in it would be a tough call. Luckily I have a great local ISP giving 2gig fibre (Voyager!), so that ethical dilemma isn’t playing out. The do 4gb too, but I can’t use that much, and rarely get over 1gb.
- mrtksn 1y agoThere's not much testimonials about OneWeb(Eutelsat) but they advertise sub 100ms latency and there are articles like that: https://www.ipinternational.net/oneweb-vs-starlink-head-to-head/ https://www.ipinternational.net/oneweb-vs-starlink-head-to-h... It's described as slightly worse than Starlink, which makes sense because the orbits are not that different to warrant 20 orders of magnitude performance difference. Where do you get the 1s latency number?
