    I agree. It’s the only option for internet in many places. I’m very happy with my Starlink service. I’d drop it in a heartbeat if there was a better option but for now it fits my needs.

      Obviously the second fibre is available. Half the price and better stability. Fuck musk. But currently it’s leaps and bounds above competition.

      It’s basically the Tesla of the ev industry.

        First of all I think you meant the Tesla of the internet provider industry. And also, by your definition, even Tesla isn’t the Tesla of the EV industry 😅

            You said starlink was the Tesla of the EV industry. But they aren’t part of the EV industry, they are an internet provider.

            And many people would argue that Tesla is not leaps and bounds above the competition, but rather falling behind the competition after starting with a huge head start.

              It’s a figure of speech. Breathe of the wild is the soulsborne of Nintendo. I honestly can’t explain it. Yes Tesla was the Pinnacle during the early years of EV. Starlink is the Pinnacle of space internet. I’m sure it will get overtaken. Currently musk has resources that others don’t, namely space x

              Maybe I coined it wrong. Starlink is the Tesla of the space internet. Is that better

                  Not necessarily trailblazers. Similar to apple. They took products that existed and made them mainstream appeal. That’s the difference. Satellite Internet has been around for ages but not easy and user friendly. Same with evs. Been around since 19th century.
