So what he’s saying is the speed of 100 Mbps up and 40 Mbps down, with a <=30 ms latency.
Not bad for rural areas. Big cities and suburbs will be faster on cable.
I live in rural Alabama. I’m lucky, because I’m right on the route the Cable TV company put their main line.
Still, my speed is slow, and I won’t pay for faster, as my speed is good enough for what I do, including streaming and teleconferencing.
I will probably get Starlink, if the price is a bargain.
But here is my stats on Spectrum Cable, from Speed Test by Ookla:
PING ms 24 DOWNLOAD Mbps 26.70 UPLOAD Mbps 2.88
The video indicates the same.....if it works as advertised, it will be a game changer for rural America.
It will also remove an obstacle some might have with leaving metropolitan areas....
Think about the chaos and destruction you will have in NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, etc....if they continue to defund and demoralize the police and anarchy becomes the norm....
People will leave and having really good internet at a reasonable price will be fantastic if you could also work remotely...

They only want to sell in rural areas. If they don’t get a single subscription in cities they’ll be happy. Most likely they’ll have to turn people away because Starlink isn’t designed to work in high density locations.
