Re:I took down my Starlink dish (but haven't cancelled) by jcrawfordor on Thursday February 03, 2022 @12:47PM (#30195828)
I know a surprising number of Starlink customers who are paying more for slower service compared to our incumbent ISP (Comcast). This seems to have been a very common part of the hype. I get it, there have been times in the past that I've used fixed LTE to avoid Comcast, but I actually think I was still paying less and getting faster service on fixed LTE as compared to Starlink.

Notably these are all of the Starlink customers I know despite living in a region with vast rural areas... I've heard from a couple people I know out in the country that they are stuck on the waitlist. I think Starlink may have prioritized urban areas first for whatever reason (just higher customer count presumably).
