@SgtJoker762FMJ Can confirm it’s not a cost issue for rural folks. We have Hughesnet. It’s awful. 3mb/s max in perfect conditions. Won’t lie I spent some time I parking lots on teams calls during the shutdowns.

@TheQuartering The big problem with satellite internet isn’t usually the speeds…it’s your latency. Uploading videos may not be too big of an issue, but livestreaming probably won’t work too well. I used to have HughesNet and would have an average 500ms latency.

@PalmerforIL Yes! Comcast stops down the street. Satellite services like hughesnet suck. I just ordered Starlink, but will have to return as there are too many tall surrounding trees.

@Seth_Horwitz @C_S_Skeptic I think the real issue is that most people simply don't understand how terrible Viasat and HughesNet are.
Viasat has a commercial where they showcase just how quickly their service can load a webpage using their special web browser.
7 seconds. 10 if you use Chrome.

@DavinciFred @JohnnaCrider1 Satellite internet has been around since 2012 (HughesNet) and is actually faster than Starlink (more latency admittedly) and us also cheaper and doesn’t have the m***ive space junk issue. Starlink’s price makes it unaffordable for the vast majority of people in remote areas

@WhaleBearMan In many places, DSL, cable, and fiber internet is not available. I moved from a place with Fios to a place with nothing. I was able to get a hotspot or satellite (Hughesnet). They suck, can't even stream Netflix. Starlink has over 100Mbs down over 10 up.

Hughes cellphone net uses satellites not cell towers.
The only problem is that the cheapest rate they have is $950 per month. If you have over 10 employees, the cost goes up to $5000 a month for each phone.
Everyone knows that so sales are non-existant.

@Brehmel @Yrouel86 @Nilon75349784 @fanaticzenn @C_S_Skeptic @crensonator @RocketRacer10 @JNichol52514226 The problem is simple. How many Starlink satellites can service NA? What is the total bandwidth of that many satellites? How does that compare to HughesNet?
Right now, Starlink has 6.7x the bandwidth in NA.
The full constellation would have 56x.

@voytechs @spacex360 @ViasatInc @HughesNet The only native disadvantage geosync satellites have over LEO is the latency issue.
Also larger cost to get to the further orbit, but that could be offset because they have a larger service area..

I had HughesNet's satellite Internet service for about 3 months; had to cancel it because not only did the signal absolutely SUCK on rainy days, but also they throttled their data down to a crawl after you used the bare minimum.
One thing about @GetSpectrum: they don't throttle.
