I can't imagine why anyone would suggest (let alone recommend) Starlink in an office situation. Further, I can't imagine why anyone would recommend Starlink to anyone who is looking to get hooked up immediately; the waiting list is rather long.
Hey man! I'm just thinking back some years ago in my industry when the only Internet available was dial-up. True business 56k. Wow. No DSL.
Later on the bean counters decided to deal with a second party phone company. Same Bell South lines on the same copper-to-fiber cabinets on the street corner. The Internet speed went down to 22k. And repeated calls resulted in the same thing. Basically the company was "Meeting FCC requirements". The main office was peed off and jumped protocol and had a dedicated Bell South 56k line installed for their admin office. Only.
Years later our branch moved to a building down the street. Level One was stringing fiber and the building was hooked up with 7 lines. Phenomenal speeds.
In the equipment room I found a Nextel cabinet on the wall and a yagi antenna on the roof. The previous occupant/owner had subscribed to their data in a time when copper was the only service in the area. Smart on their part but I can't even fathom the fees.
Okay. So people in my area are so pissed off at the local cable/isp company that they get bilked into Wild Blue, Hughesnet. No DSL for most and those that do have it, have snail service. And we all know how much regular sat. service sucks and the slap in your face bill surprises when you eat up data....etc.
Yeah. There is a lag in getting Starlink right now, I know. Get on the bandwagon. I see the OP was able to finally get Comcast. Cool. But what if they weren't?
Those who have cable, fiber data readily available don't really realize the limitations those who do not have "high speed" data services available. Or even those who depend on things like a Verizon Jetpack for data service.
But. I've been there. It really sucks.
AT&T and others who deliver data services to most but not all should be peed off. Or can deliver but with high pricing and limited capabilities. Peed off in a major way now that there's a new kid on the block.
Promises to make sales. Promises of "soon", "we're planning on it", "it's in the works".....with no tentative date.
Yeah!
