Starlink satellites executed 25,000 avoidance maneuvers over a recent six-month period—an orbital situation that's set to become even more challenging.
is anyone even using that starlink internet? ive seen prices go from 100$/mo which is a lot, but maybe not for sattelite net idk…
Is there anything else he gets from sattelites or just internet?
I use it, it’s my only serious option where I live and works surprisingly well. as for my other options - the literal garbage tier DSL is unusable, the line-of-sight wireless providers would require removal of a bunch of trees and likely still wouldn’t work well, and 1 bar of cellular is a joke.
I use it. My option before was $240/mo for microwave internet. Starlink is both faster and significantly cheaper for me. It’s just internet though, same as my other options.
They just started testing it when I left a previous job. Having fast, reliable Internet access would be a game-changer for remote temporary/mobile sites. And when I say remote, I mean remote.
My options are $65 a month for 10Mb download / 768 kbit upload and 120ms ping to gaming servers, and about 1 in 10 packet loss. Or… $120 a month for starlink which gives me 100-200 MB download and 50-100 MB upload and 40-60ms ping to gaming servers and about 1 in 100 packet loss.

People in rural areas use it.
I use it. I live in the middle of nowhere and it has been a total game changer. I now want for nothing.

I live in a van and I use Starlink daily when I’m somewhere without cell service.
