8/3/2022: How Verizon ‘fixed wireless’ and T-Mobile home broadband is converting cable customers, USA Today After a reality-check interview with an analyst who reminded me that fiber scales so much better to meet demand than fixed wireless can, this column on the progress of T-Mobile and...
After 28 launches, Starlink achieved near-global satellite coverage, but the constellation will not be complete until around 42,000 satellites are in orbit. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket can carry up to 60 Starlink satellites into space. There have been 191 licensed launches of Starlink sate...
Starlink is a bargain. I often read complaints from people comparing the cost of Starlink to the cost of cable, fiber, or cellular internet. Compared to those options, Starlink can appear expensive. But, my goodness, this is internet fromouter spacefor $150 a month. None of those other op...
Rather than sending internet signals through electric cables, which must be physically laid down to reach far-flung places, satellite internet works by beaming information through the vacuum of space, where it travels 47% faster than in fiber-optic cable,Business Insiderreported.

Gateways near me are in: Redmond, WA Colburn, ID Prosser, WA Kalama, WA Charleston, OR Tionesa, CA Robbins, CA Arbuckle, CA It's not clear how the gateways connect with the POPs. Hopefully by fiber optic cable, by maybe point-to-point microwave link? The Gateways communicate with Poi...

I ordered the Starlink service and was told it would be with me in in 4 weeks. It arrived within 4 days! It is the easiest installation that I have ever done! I simply popped the dish onto the top of my existing SKY Satellite pole using the pole adaptor accessory. Ran the cable to...
you’re still looking at a service whose near-term, best-case scenario is being competitive with a solid LTE connection. I am no fan of cable companies and wireless carriers, but it’s simply true that my cable broadband and 5G service are both faster and more reliable than Starlink, and...
I'm in a larger town near DE-CIX InterneNode until this year i was not able to get DSL over 50Mbit. FTTH? Cable? No way even if I'm living near the city center. Now I will be able to have 200/50 for around 40-50€/month phoenix...
People who use cable or fiber internet are used to having no data caps. That’s because the infrastructure used by cable and fiber have very large bandwidths that can handle lots of users at the same time. There’s no need to cut people off. But when these users sign up for satellite...
