I watched the video, and agree with all of your points. He strongly implies that Starlink is no better than existing satellite providers. My parents live in a rural area where the best non-satellite internet is 3mb/s DSL. They subscribe to Starlink, since there are no other viable options that allow things like video calling or HD video streaming. Viasat offers 30mb/s download for $199/mo with a 150GB data cap.
HughesNet offers 25mb/s download for $159/mo with a 75GB data cap.
Starlink offers ~100mb/s download for $110/mo with no data cap. Viasat/HughesNet have geostationary satellites which results in almost unusable ping (300-600ms), compared to the 50ms ping from Starlink. |
