alt Hacker NewsI live in a city. Like a large number of Americans, I had one broadband provider available for 20 years. (Something like 75% of us have 1 or 2).
The price was high and the service was bad. I struggled to reliably achieve 20mbs at $80/mo.
Starlink is better than that, and it’s millions of people. 5g home internet is slow to spread here too.
Their market is large.
Yes and unless you're paying Starlink say $300/mo, they are taking a loss to serve you internet. Cities are especially difficult for them because more users are in the same spot beam so everyone shares the spectrum and they need even lower oversubscription ratios.
