This really sucks. I considered getting it, but not anymore.
SpaceX’s Starlink touts its high-speed internet as “available almost anywhere on Earth.” In the real world, its reach extends to countries where Elon Musk’s satellite-enabled service has no agreement to operate, including territories ruled by repressive regimes.
A Bloomberg News investigation identified wide-spanning examples of Starlink kits being traded and activated illegally. How they are smuggled and the sheer availability of Starlink on the black market suggests that its misuse is a systemic global problem. https://bloom.bg/3Vs9Jma

would you stop using Bitcoin because the dark web drug dealers also use it? retarded take
The issue here is that some of regular users are reporting bad connection lately, looks like they are expanding the grid before having the structure ready.
I have Starlink and have not noticed any performance issues. Anyway, it's satellite internet. It was never going to be the best option, only one that would bring good internet to underserviced areas, which is what it's doing.
Yeah and as you mentioned satellite the coverage ain't 100% but his expanding that grid too so not a finalized deal
