    Yes, and are far more stable, not hyped, and are already at pretty much peak congestion. Starlink will get progressively worse, the more people use it. Right now, it’s over provisioned.

    They were not more stable. Any occlusion, including thick clouds, would degrade the signal to being unusable. I used Hughsnet for years, then swapped to cellular (100ms+ latency) and finally to Starlink. Starlink is a pretty solid 100Mb/s, with low jitter, packet loss and latency.

    Ever try a voice call with 30ms of latency?

    Yeah, I use voice chat every day, it’s not noticeable.

      The people on the call do…

        LMAO you’re really doubling down?

        No, they absolutely will not notice a 30ms delay. Why would you even say something so absurd?
