Game over.

QuoteStarlink is a new telecommunications company that uses satellites to provide internet access to the planet, but nothing like DirecTV and other satellite providers.  Because of true space innovation mocked by leftists, dependence on the globalist networks like Comcast and AT&T for internet connectivity is about to end.

Excellent article.  I signed up for the beta, I'm now waiting for the equipment to arrive.  My current ISP is horrible, 1.2 mbps up and .76 down. 

Spot on Taxed, and despite living off the grid, I have every amenity known to man, and now I have something better than city kids, I have lightning fast internet.
I can't believe just how fast this thing is, it's like spending your entire life on a horse and suddenly getting helicopter.

I'm actually flying here!!!!
Even if a cable company came in and offered me free fiber optics for life, I'd tell them to fuck off, because I'm free of their PC Marxist bull shit, and once Elon gets more satellites, I'm killing my landline as well!

Oh, and to the Marxists sinking on the Titanic? Throw them a fiber optic life line.😁

Looks lovely, but I will not jump into space just yet.  Yet, if this (below) is true, I am glad for any off-gridders or very rural folks who use it.

QuoteAn amazing feature of these satellites is they're essentially disposable.  They have a five year life span and are engineered to burn up in the atmosphere when it's time for them to be cycled.  To put another way, they leave no space debris when Starlink is done with them.

My Spectrum connection gives 234 down & 12 up - which is adequate for my non-gamer, non-movie downloading etc. uses.

Sorry, I'm all bassackwards.  I get 1.2 down w/ only .76 up.  It's supposedly DSL, but I live at the very end of the service and I'm pretty sure the lines were all installed in the mid to late 70's. I can't wait to get the new equipment.

You'll be ecstatic.

I wonder if China plans to shoot down the satellites.
Or set off some nukes in space to fry them.
I wonder if the satellites are EMP hardened.

Nope, they're disposable, and Elon will just make more.

Too funny! Checkout the spin. Fact is, Conservatives are bailing on leftist S/M, social media, not that libs have any advantage because they're in an echo chamber.

Note the language - "overpowering" & "drive news" - Dems have "more followers". 

As Rush might say, "So who has hoards of 'mind-numbed robots' goose-stepping to Fascist orders?"

If you think star link can't be breached check out what's happening to the American Constitution... nothing is safe. The "Big Money" will soil star link just as it has soiled everything else.

He doesn't need the money, he's tied for first as the richest man in the world. Pretty hard to corrupt that.

Moreover, I would think it would be an affront to his ego to even think about being corrupted by anyone.

Yep, no one likes dealing with an arrogant prick, something Musk is not known for, we really don't even know his politics. Now that's a smart businessman...
