Starlink

Thankyou

Insults but no facts to counter my facts. Typical cult member.
You are now on IGNORE, kemosabe.

Could you please quote the part if your link that says satellites aren't real?

It's why it is nice to have two reliable ISPs when you live in rural areas and WFH.

Doesn't having a reliable ISP sort of negate the need for Starlink in the first place? Seems to me that most who go that route have few other options.

Dude, just stop. You're wasting bandwidth with useless babble. Nothing you're saying makes any sense.

You may be inaccurately assuming I have something like a cable-based ISP or fiber option available. That is not the case in rural area we reside in. I do have "few other options".

In a rural area like I am, I have 4 choices: cell-based LTE hotspot, Starlink, DSL and a point-to-point wireless ISP. Cell hotspot has limited bandwidth (or at least a threat of limit). DSL is super slow (absolute max of 5Mb/s, typically 2-4) because we're at max distance from the POP for copper line. Point-to-point wireless would require buildout of a 55' antenna tower with a cost at or above $1500 and it is also bandwidth limited. So we have Starlink as primary and AT&T hotspot as secondary. When you WFH having two reliable ISPs is important. This is what we have available and our config works great for us, but it isn't like we have a 1Gb/s fiber ISP option to choose over Starlink. Before Starlink we were def pushing limits of what we had access to. Starlink is a game changer for us.

That's because your eyes aren't open.

The link supports the claim of no satellites. It should be painfully obvious that there are no satellites in orbit as there is no proof.
People claim to see the ISS from the ground but should be able to see the 20,000+ satellites too. No pictures of satellites.
High altitude balloons prove that internet coverage is happening (as well as antennas and towers).

Did you read the article? Here is a excerpt from it.

"If World View can push its technology beyond testing, Stratollites might be stationed high over cities or regions to deliver fine resolution imagery on demand. That can’t be done from space today, because low Earth orbit satellites whiz over their imaging targets at intervals and geostationary satellites must fly at 35,000 kilometers above the equator. World View says Stratollites would cost an estimated 1 percent of a conventional satellite’s price to operate,"

They clearly think satellites are real and see them as competition.

Of course satellites couldn't be real because they supposedly circle the round earth that is really flat. Right Tradasaurus? And nobody can possibly miss-prove your religion and your beliefs because what ever facts people present are nothing more than a giant conspiracy of lies designed to take your beloved money.
When I was 12 years-old I developed this theory that the whole world was created for no other purpose than to make me miserable. Fortunately I moved on from that stage.

Darn, this forum needs a "LOL!" post reaction...

Of course I read the article. Just because it makes claims about imaginary objects doesn't make it true. My point was that high altitude balloons work in carrying internet service.
You show me an actual picture of a satellite in "space" then I'll believe it. International Scuba Station certainly won't show us any pictures.

 

[NoTrespassing]

I'll play. String of satellites baffles residents, bugs astronomers

Lol. Actually the article says balloons "might" work, they are still figuring it put.

I love that your using a link to support your claim then say "well half of the information there is a lie, just belive the part that works for me" lol.

 

[Cougsfan]

Those are lights put up in the sky with balloons to make you think that there are satellites. They have perfectly synchronized motors and propellers to move them in unison across the sky. Our government will spare no expense to fool you into believing modern science

Oh that's right, we can put people on "ignore".
Congratulations, you just made the list.

Just the fact that our tax dollars are being used to fund a huge lie.
Don't care what religion you worship just don't make me pay taxes to support it.

The only huge lie is your imagination...
...as far as paying taxes to support something you don't like...welcome to the real world...put on your big boy pants and face actual facts...not imaginary ones...!

 

[RedNeckGeek]

OH, BTW. I've witnessed two SpaceX launches at Vandenberg Space Force Base, and hope to see another between Christmas and New Years, my first night launch. I can assure you, faking that would be quite a feat. Besides, why would our goobermint be spending that kind of money on a hoax?

And don't bother replying: I won't see it.

No satellites huh???...explain how folks that live way out in the wilderness can get live TV ???
Explain how meteorologists can predict storm systems several days or more in advance...???

All you have to do is go outside on any moonless night and just watch...you'll likely see a lot of satellites...unless you think they are little tiny stars orbiting Earth...!

Those must be the navigation lights on the balloons?

YEA for the "ignore" function... I just removed a bunch of dribble from the site for me.
