Re:FCC cancels Starlink’s and LTD's rural development grants by yencabulator on Thursday August 11, 2022 @10:18AM (#32426001)
Now compare the noise level in a buried fiber, versus satellite radio transmission.

We've been getting a thunderstorm every evening here, and my Starlink slows down a lot -- not sure if it's ionization, the water content of clouds, or what, but it's definitely noticeable.

And my previous point-to-point wifi would also essentially stop transferring data when it rained, just in case some Starlink hater thinks it's somehow worse than alternatives.
