American ISPs suck so much, is Elon Musk's Starlink going to save the internet?

No, latency is too high for the most part.

not for most people but if you live in a remote area then possibly yes

Tell me you don't know anything about Starlink without telling me you don't know anything about Starlink.

user I...

>user thats not SFW!
fuck you, this is politically correct now, bigot
Eli Green
>this is politically correct now
I am confident that the HR dept of the megacorpo I used to work for would be more offended at the girl getting strangled than at the drag kid shit. so if youre gonna ban you better ban OP too
Kevin Hall
>this is politically correct now
no it's not, not outside of your terminally online circle of influence
go outside

i dont think elon changed the laws of physics, user
it might not be as bad as your usual satellite link, but it's still going to be worse than most optic fiber connections

no shit?
>Starlink going to save the internet?
no
Ryan Edwards
youre just jealous because you didnt get to sit on a stunning and brave drag queens lap as she read books to you in the public library. now youre trying to stop todays kids from living their best lives.
>no it's not [politically correct now]
i guarantee you biden, obama and probably trump support picrel

No. Starlink doesn't can't work from both: technical and economical perspective. In short, technically starlink's satellites' bandwidth is very limited and ~2 million starlink users concentrated in one city will overload local network, economically, there's no (at least not yet) feasible way of making enough money (even if you ignore technical limitations on amount of users) to at least sustain 42k satellites.

Imagine being this retarded and doubling down on your own stupidity rofl

>~2 million starlink users concentrated in one city will overload local network
which is why the billionaires are trying so hard to lower earths population
Benjamin Phillips
>is Elon Musk's Starlink going to save the internet?
No.
As a rule, if Elon Musk has anything to do with it it's probably just empty hype.
Lincoln Turner
> didn't even bother to prove that latency would be similar to fiber
Prove or go away, muskboy.

lmao

SpaceX will send human to moon next year and go to Mars by 2025. it's not just hype

>SOL is 300,000 km/s
>1100km / 300,000kps = 0.0036s (3.6ms)
>BUT WHAT IF ITS NOT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD!?!?!
>max furthest point before it goes over the horizon is ~2700km
>0.018s (18ms)
still negligible. learn basic physics.
Joshua Barnes
they better have gopros strapped to the outside of the spaceship and livestream the whole thing or else i'll just think theyre lying again
Daniel Foster
Retard.

>but it's still going to be worse than most optic fiber connections
cool, so it'll be unnoticeably slower than ~2% of American internet connections. Very relevant.
Corporations here are so greedy and jewish that they stole the billions of dollars they were given more than a decade ago, by the federal government, to improve broadband and fiber network availability to Americans. You know what they did with the money? Bought back stock and bought yachts for their CEOs.
Fiber only exists in a tiny handful of places in the entire country.
