My sister in New Zealand uses StarLink because ADSL stopped working in the rural wops.

She gets more utility than she pays for (that's the one trick of capitalism).

Is that trickle down?

I feel bad for your sister. Only one reasonable option for an essential utility and all it costs your sister is hundreds a month plus sending all of her private data to a Nazi billionaire who is using it to train his AI while externalizing the costs of light pollution and space congestion/garbage onto the entire rest of the planet? It's looking like there's more than one trick to capitalism.
