I've pointed out where you can get the data from a professor.

You can also fly to one of the many Islands (or Iqaluit) I've mentioned and do your testing.

It's quite fascinating, there's people who's only (or first) experience with Starlink is via lasers and there's people on the Internet who'll tell you it doesn't work (I forgot to mention Georgia and Kazakhstan)

You really will hear everything on the Internet.

You are aware that you are giving more weight to photos done of a powerpoint presentation over actual data points?

Sorry, that's not a path I am willing to follow. Religion is not my cup of tea.

I've given you links to the data you want and someone that can get it for you (and has monitoring stations).

I've also mentioned several places you can travel to do your own testing.

If you want to believe Tristan de Cunha or the Falkland Islands or Bhutan or Antarctica can be served by anything other than lasers, (get a map) I don't know what else to call that but religion.

I'm not giving more weight to anything. I've pointed you in the right direction but I don't think even internal tools from SpaceX would change your mind even though geography should be enough.

please talk to "panuvic". pan &a@t& uvic.ca he's a networking prof.

Here's the data you've been asking for and dodging like I didn't post.

Serious question: If you are not willing to entertain anybody else's data or observations, why should anyone entertain yours?

Is there any input whatsoever that could change your foregone conclusions? If not, what's the point of this discussion?

I don't even want him to entertain my data or observations.

He can go to or recruit a user in territories that can be only served via laser in 2025,(I've listed 10 at least so far) install a computer that boots to desktop and remotely test his theories.

His base argument is no one can hold a phone call or run a game without interruptions every 120 seconds on Starlink if they are served via lasers (two more countries, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia) not because of packet drops but because of session terminations. Now I can understand the possibility of broken middle boxes, but the thing is we'd see the effect in our applications before even bringing out any network analysis tools.

He's also skipped the users doing BGP over the lasers. Doesn't BGP have sessions?
