I just checked the price and its $599 for the hardware + $99 deposit + $50 shipping. After that the service costs $120/month. I pay $65/month for fiber at the moment.
If you have fiber, it’s unlikely you will benefit from something like Starling. Transfer data wirelessly through a constellation of satellites will have running costs much higher than just having a fibre. That is unless you have to dog a trench or run a fibre on mast for km for just one customer, which is where Starling starts making more sense.
Starling is for rural customers, mobile customers, and possibly an option to counter monopoly abuse by some Telco companies. But if you are in a city with fibre, then do use the fibre, that’s your better option.
If it is a fact, feel free to release an intelligent assessment based on more than a single data point. I’m guessing you’ve said things other people thought were stupid on occasion.
My position is perfectly straightforward: by asserting their belief that their own behaviour of calling people “dumb” with no elaboration was acceptable, that user gave us all implicit permission to speak to them that way without any objection from them, lest they betray a hypocritical stance.
I responded by doing just that as a parody to demonstrate that it clearly is rude behaviour. I subjected them to the discomfort of having such rhetoric leveraged against them, a situation they clearly neglected to consider in their hasty self-serving defence. If I had elaborated any further, it would have defeated the purpose of the parody.
But in your case, I decided upon an overly verbose self-serious tone, also as a form of parody. Is that assessment sufficiently intelligent for you?
Move Starlink around? You can. The roam plan costs more and has the lowest priority in traffic, but it does work. We’ve been using it for internet access in our RV all over the US this summer as we work from the road.

Is starling like an interstellar zergling or something?
It’s a type of bird.
I actually would not be surprised if SpaceX starts using Starling for one of their thrusters in the future. I’ll keep the typo.
I paid the deposit over 3 years ago and they still haven’t done shit.

Rude tone apart, this is absolutely true. Nobody thinks satellite Internet is meant to compete with fiber to the door.
Potentially rude. They are indeed dumb.
Of course it’s rude. Are you dumb?
Exactly, not rude. Rude things are fact
So you’re dumb then.
Not rude, just a fact.

Ah, a fellow intellectual, I see.

Oh I’m sorry did you not like how I spoke to you?
You know, you can make your perfectly valid argument without the insult. No need to add more toxicity to Lemmy and fediverse at large.
It is dumb though. Like c’mon. There’s being a toxic dick and there’s calling out a dumb statement.
I think the two can coexist. But fuck it.

I was in a similar spot. No fiber but I could get dsl.
The reason I wanted it is I have two houses in Oregon and I could take it with me.
It’s too expensive for that.
Yeah that’s a shame. Would be great if you could move it around
