I have to support a remote client that uses Starlink. It’s a nightmare. We can deal with slow connections, we can deal with bad ping, but with Starlink what we get is the entire connection dropping every minute or so, and coming back up a short while later. It’s unbelievably bad.

I can almost guarantee that’s because their terminal is in a shit location with too much of the sky obscured by trees or buildings. I had to set my parents up with it two years ago and if it can’t see as much of the constellation as possible it’s going to have periods of obstructed sattelite connectivity.
Ah yes, my comment clearly indicated Starlink was the sole cause an no additional satelites in various orbits will ever be needed, desired or will ever be launched by any other country because we are done and have all we need, forever.
You are clearly very smart. I am so happy you are here to protect us from saying something stupid. That would be embarassing.

Ohh… It’s ok guys, it’s only because the sky has clouds in it.
“More satellites!”
Maybe the overall idea isn’t a great one.
My money is on Kessler Syndrome in less than 20 years.
How do you have the knowledge of what Kessler Syndrome is but not understand what Low Earth Orbit is and how it works?
