I took down my Starlink dish (but haven't cancelled)
I get it.  If you already have internet, then Starlink is not for you.  There are lots of questionable design choices (particularly in version 2), it&#x27;s picky about placement, etc. etc.<p>But if your other choice is HughesNet or its competitors, that throttles you after 15 GB (2 days of non-streaming usage for me), or 50 GB, the Starlink &quot;shortcomings&quot; are irrelevant.  With Starlink, if you can get it, and if you can site it without blockages, you have &quot;real&quot; internet.  Reasonable speeds and no caps&#x2F;throttling.<p>The massive over-subscription (presumably by people who have no functional alternative) suggests it serves a need.<p>Just not a need for people who have a non-DSL wired alternative, like Jeff Geerling.
