There's lots of users in laser only areas doing RTC via VOIP or video. Some of them on Ships in the Persian Gulf (look up SEA-2. https://www.wired.com/story/us-navy-starlink-sea2/)

That person has posted an install in a moving vehicle with the antenna inside.

Do you think I can't read or what?

The ground stations don't handle user IP addresses or even IP packets.

They are strictly layer 2 from the user perspective and traffic is terminated at POP's.

Here's a scientist that does actual work, not the nonsense you've been posting as "data".

I gave you his email.

I've pointed out to you where you can travel to test laser service yourself.

I'm not saying "but it works"

I pointed out to you places that can't be served without laser connectivity.

It's like asking me to prove the earth isn't flat.

And this link form wired is about something completely unrelated - getting more stable coverage by using multiple different providers. It does not even mention Lasers.

You also clearly do not know what Layer 2 on the ISO/OSI model is.

But you are in total rage mode.

Triggered because the actual data invalidates what your cult says? :)

Sorry, will ignore you from now on. Again: Religion is not my cup of tea, bold claims on powerpoint presentations neither, I prefer to use data. We simply do not share a model of the world that is compatible to discuss these kind of things. No harm done, but no thank you :)

You can't get service to them on Starlink without lasers.

I gave you more than one link. I gave you an email to a prof.

I started working at a Telco at 13 and got my CCNA there ages ago within a summer break.

You've demonstrated a lack of understanding of basic geography.

Go get your money back from your tutors.
