Starlink satellites executed 25,000 avoidance maneuvers over a recent six-month period—an orbital situation that's set to become even more challenging.
I personally consider 100mbit to be the minimum internet people should have. And everyone should have at least that.
I got my parents Starlink because they live a few miles outside the capitol of Texas and have zero unlimited cellular options and no terrestrial options. They get about 120mb/sec and I would hate for that number to go down. It’s over 110 dollars a month versus Gigabit bidirectional for Google fiber that I have just 6 miles from them that is only 45 a month.
I only have 22mbit where I live and no available fiber. There’s no faster service either. We get by with it, but in a full household, it can certainly cause lots of buffering and bandwidth restrictions. When we worked from home, it could be a problem on occasions. I live in a decently sized community in the southeastern US. There’s no excuse for this.
