Ok, but at the same time this is the BETA period. Attacks on his claim should wait until the public availability of the service begins.


Fair enough... except everyone here is in awe of 11Mbps satellite service, as-if satellite internet is some brand new thing.


If Hughes had been serving 11-60 Mbps at 31-94 ms ping without caps, Starlink wouldn't need to exist. Starlink is absolutely not the same as the previous generation of satellite internet. This is a brand new thing.


OK, but they've touted each satellite in the cluster being capable of driving 20Gbps all by itself.

So why are people only getting 11Mbps? Beta or not, that's a very far cry from the promised specs.
