  It turns out that they do have Starlink, as of 2024. Notable impacts have been improved telemedicine, remote learning opportunities for the school, and reduced attendance at the pub because people are watching Netflix. https://www.tristandc.com/government/news-2024-09-22-starlink.php https://www.tristandc.com/government/news-2024-09-22-starlin... https://www.youngpioneertours.com/fast-internet-changing-tristan-da-cunha/ https://www.youngpioneertours.com/fast-internet-changing-tri...

    > The Albatross bar, the island’s only pub, once a lively social hub, is noticeably quieter these days. Many locals now spend their evenings at home scrolling, video chatting, or watching Netflix That's sad

      Perhaps, but only because it implies that hanging out at the pub was a less attractive option.
