      Rude tone apart, this is absolutely true. Nobody thinks satellite Internet is meant to compete with fiber to the door.

                If it is a fact, feel free to release an intelligent assessment based on more than a single data point. I’m guessing you’ve said things other people thought were stupid on occasion.

                  Ah, a fellow intellectual, I see.

                  My position is perfectly straightforward: by asserting their belief that their own behaviour of calling people “dumb” with no elaboration was acceptable, that user gave us all implicit permission to speak to them that way without any objection from them, lest they betray a hypocritical stance.

                  I responded by doing just that as a parody to demonstrate that it clearly is rude behaviour. I subjected them to the discomfort of having such rhetoric leveraged against them, a situation they clearly neglected to consider in their hasty self-serving defence. If I had elaborated any further, it would have defeated the purpose of the parody.

                  But in your case, I decided upon an overly verbose self-serious tone, also as a form of parody. Is that assessment sufficiently intelligent for you?

      You know, you can make your perfectly valid argument without the insult. No need to add more toxicity to Lemmy and fediverse at large.

      I was in a similar spot. No fiber but I could get dsl.

      The reason I wanted it is I have two houses in Oregon and I could take it with me.

      It’s too expensive for that.

          Move Starlink around? You can. The roam plan costs more and has the lowest priority in traffic, but it does work. We’ve been using it for internet access in our RV all over the US this summer as we work from the road.
