A Tell HN is like an Ask HN, it’s to be used to post text to the community. If you’re sharing a link, that’s a regular submission.

Article is from someone who is digging, hopelessly, trying to find something bad to say about Elon and Starlink. Starlink is the best option for those who cannot get wired broadband internet. The picture of the huge satellite dishes is laughable. Link below for pictures of a Starlink Downlink site. The author is either a liar or idiot.

I feel like there’s more of a demand for Starlink sucking than Starlink actually sucking. There seem to be constant articles about it crashing and burning, not actually working, being a huge failure, yet my parents (rural Australia) have been using it for a couple of years and haven’t found fault in it yet. It’s at least 10x the speeds of Sky Muster, which was the next best thing, and while Sky Muster was capped at something like 60GB when they got it Starlink is unlimited. It was an insane improvement when they switched over.
