Re: The future of television

So its not nearly as good as it initially looked ;
Quote:
Starlink once said that in perfect conditions — which would be periods of low consumer demand while there are lots of nearby orbiting satellites — it could reach consistent speeds up to 150Mbps download and 40Mbps upload. SpaceX itself tells users to expect between 50-150Mbps.
.. and the price
Quote:
Starlink's beta project is said to have an upfront cost of £439 for equipment and setup, and a subscription cost of £84 [per month].
You would need to be pretty desperate for internet at those prices, you can probably get better from 4G or 5G.
