I also don’t get the convenience part. If you are in a national forest, put on your boots, open the door and go for a walk, breathe the fresh air and touch some grass. Why is a low latency high speed internet connection convenient in this setting, you should be happy to be able to send text messages and make phone calls, as I assume you‘ll be spending most of your time enjoying nature or sitting around the campfire.

i'm in a campervan... i can be off-grid for many weeks and i also have a $dayjob.

starlink enables me to get the best of both worlds, which is a huge reason why i love it so much. don't knock it until you try it. =)

Sure, I am glad for you. I‘m sure there are dozens of people in your situation. Now if we can only get a whole constellation of satellites to accommodate every possible niche.
Now your bias becomes clear. Should have stated that in the first place.
My bias is that I don‘t belong to a tiny minority of people who willingly enter a weird niche that has extreme accommodations.

I think you can safely assume that everyone on this thread excluding you shares my bias.
