Serious question, have you ever been outside of a major city? Because that's the type of ignorance you typically see from someone who's spent their entire life in an urban environment.
You're not running fibre out to every remote settlement, high country station, or remote farmhouse, most of these places aren't even connected to the grid.
Never mind the many marine vessels that have Starlink.
I generally prefer arguments without this kind of hostility, specially after I specifically said that I was just enumerating whichever cons I could think off.
I think you understand that starlink did not invented internet through satellites. Do we really need this escalation?
I mean, most of the points you came out with are nonsense, and not worth dignifying with a response.
Especially considering a dead Starlink satellite will deorbit and burn up in under a decade, because they fly so low.
