I'll piggy back off this comment.

It's pure gold for people in rural Australia as well. Our country is extremely vast with most of us concentrated on the cost in major cities. Our fixed internet speeds are not that great at all in major cities, let alone in the country.

Starlink provides fantastic speeds that no other solution can currently provide in the country. It's also not bureaucratically tied with another company that needs to provide the infrastructure. Which means you don't need to go through the hassle of an ISP, then the ISP liasing with the company that actually owns the infrastructure.



100%. My brother and I ordered it for my parents. We had an absolute max of 20 down previously. Dad was able to set it up by himself and we’re north of 200 most of the time. Absolute game changer
