Starlink speeds in US dropped from 105Mbps to 53Mbps in the past year
People were tossing traditional internet satellites from roofs, chopping off the old dried up copper from the side of the house and pushing the wisp tower down.<p>Starlink made remote living and work truly possible. No more turning off video, pixilating and worrying about data plans. And low enough latency to make up with skill in games.<p>But just like everything it got too popular, cellular carriers are trying to service that market though and t-mobile might be a last mile internet provider with decent speeds and unlimited data. But, fiber is also getting buried all over rural areas to help with this as well.<p>Between fiber&#x2F;cellular and Starlink people are going to get interesting data plans for sure though. Wisp are regional and the market will shrink because the service is just inadequate and poorly maintained. The smart wisp that got federal high speed internet subsidies will survive building out fiber even in some pretty rural areas.
