I could not use Hughes because of its high latency time that makes VPN run at modem speeds.
I might be over-stating this here, but I think Starlink is wrong to suggest the latency of its system is so good. The obstructions, beta downtime, and no satellites of the beta are nearly unacceptable.
Elon says space should be exciting. Starlink is exciting. First there is anticipation about the order, and now I have an anticipation about more satellite 'fixing' the downtime issues.
