Stop Overpaying For Internet: SpaceX Starlink vs Amazon Leo

SpaceX Starlink finally has real competition 🚀 and your internet bill may never look the same. Amazon’s new LEO network is directly challenging SpaceX, and in this video I break down what actually matters: speed, reliability, coverage, latency, and how this fight could put real money back in your pocket. You’ll see how Starlink’s upgraded low-orbit system stacks up against Amazon Leo’s fresh constellation, what this means for rural users and families, when prices could drop, and why major ISPs are quietly panicking. If you want to know how the future of satellite internet affects your wallet, performance, and options, this is the breakdown you've been looking for.

I’d be thinking, how does starlink see thru vpn? Is there a backdoor in your local starlink code. In router part?
