minus-square@meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish21•2 months agoOh yes, please do “improve”… With the Starlink priority plans you’ll have amazing speeds such as 40-220 Mbps down/8-25 Mbps up 😂😂 They’re gonna shit their pants with excitement when they experience these speeds^^
minus-square@futatorius@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•2 months agoThey’ll be able to drive home and shit in the comfort of their own homes with those speeds. They’ll have dumped their load before the page loads.

minus-squareCousin Moselinkfedilink1•2 months agoRegardless of what it’s being used for, sending data to low orbit rather than across fiber optic will always have more latency.
minus-square@AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink6•2 months agoYikes I had no idea the speeds were so bad. Even my Australian internet is significantly faster
minus-square@meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-22 months agoI mean it’s a great product. For anyone living in a place where Fiber, 5G, or even a classic ADSL connection isn’t available. If you use it in a well developed area that would offer you any of the above, you’re a moron

Yikes I had no idea the speeds were so bad. Even my Australian internet is significantly faster
