Free worldwide internet soon

I'm not so sure about that. It's great and all, but the requirement of installing their Genesis-OS is kind of a turn-off for me.

They will drop their prices and increase the benefits of using their services and systems. Free basic internet for everyone will increase the quality of life for anyone willing to learn. Diseases will decrease, scientific innovation will increase, and all the tightly held secrets of the world will start to slip out.

This is why many of the major players have stopped building out broadband networks. Too much potential for the market to be wrecked by this along with ever shrinking margins.

Yo yo faggots it's 250 USD for a receiver, then just plug that shit in and don't break it, free internet

I'm extremely skeptical about Starlink.

It will be great for 3rd world countries or people in remote areas, but there is zero reason for a person like me who can get 1Gbit fiber to choose Starlink.

And if Starlink becomes popular they're gonna need more satellites to handle all the data processing/relaying. And soon the whole night sky will be littered with them ruining the night sky completely.

>imagine thinking this is about providing free internet to 3rd world shit skins and not laying the foundation for the future technocracry

>enable access to the relatively free global internet from anywhere on the planet

Meaning ideologically free. Reading comprehension, bro. If a Chinese farmer got his hands on a Starlink receiver, he could plug it in and suddenly be connected to the internet, free of the government's censorship and monitoring. No Great Firewall of China, no DRC internet shutdown during and after fraud elections, no info blackouts in India. No country would have a real way to actually stop people from communicating with each other and the rest of the world, other than Kessler syndrome-ing low earth orbit. And if they did that, every other country would fuck them up immediately.

Starlink is the ultimate tool for the free flow of information. It's going to be a resource that no government will be wholly comfortable with the existence of, but that they won't be able to interfere with because of the consequences.

this, satellite internet has always been a bit of a joke in gaming because the latency is enormous. plus with it in space, you cant actively upgrade the hardware as it becomes obsolete. also the risk of creating tons of debris with closer orbits.

It's gonna be great when all that space trash starts flying into one another and a debris field entraps us on this planet forever with gay niggers and jews all over everything.

i'd like to see a test with 100000 active transceivers which will be a VERY conservative number of units. Because i think it's gonna choke hard eventually when attempting to relay all that data.

>If a Chinese farmer got his hands on a Starlink receiver, he could plug it in and suddenly be connected to the internet, free of the government's censorship and monitoring.

This tech could legit lead to revolutions. Don't forget the likes of Iran and Cuba too.

Unless there's a DIY version of the transceiver, then those governments will simply outlaw the transceivers. Jobs done, revolution stopped.

>No country would have a real way to actually stop people from communicating with each other and the rest of the world

Except the country that controls the Starlink.

i'm good thanks, 2000ms ping isn't really ideal

The difference with this one is that the sats are much cliser to earth. Normal sat based internet are in geostationary orbit, meaning very far away so they can stay in one place. Starlink much closer but that means they move around all the time, the only way it would work is if there's lots and lots of them so you can switch as soon as the one you were connected to goes away. Not saying you would still have latency, you would and I think nothing can ever beat fibre, but it could have way less latency than any other sat based internet.

Gonna move innawoods asap. Just need good white man quality solar panels and we're good to go. Niggers can eat each other in the cities :)

Elon said there was going to be something ridiculous like 100-200 satellites in constant orbit upon completion, unsure how a connection could just simultaneously switch between them

These satellites is to sell to (((them))) so they can make transactions faster and have a advantage others don't have.
Starlink = More goy sheckels

>Free
Guess again, faggot. They're not running a charity. A Canadian pension fund fronted a lot of cash for that shit, they're planning on taking it public when it's operational.
They intend to make a lot money on it.
"Free" does not even enter into the equation.

Space exploration costs money. Starlink is not designed to replace jack shit, it's a supplementary solution for places where you either don't get internet at all or you're stuck on fucking DSL copper still and it's not fucking free.

He didn't say it was "free" as in free beer. He said was free as in open and uncensorable you dimwit.

Isn't this the plot of time crisis 2?

Is solar even a viable option in Estonia? UV would be very low + cloud cover and short days due to proximity to arctic

But your contry has terrible uplink to the rest of the world, Kim Dotcom tried to fix it but Telstra (I think that was their name) together with the politicians snubbed it.

Kim were planning to build a new high capacity line directly to Singapore or some place lika that, as NZ was i dire need of better connection, what happened instead was that the corrupt people built another small link cable to Australia cementing their power over NZ but providing just enough connectivity to take away the demand for the cable Kim tried to build.

We just had the Hawaiiki cable launch to Seattle + beefed up capacity to Aus, plus we've got the Southern Cross to LA. Agreed though, traffic to Asia is piss-poor, we have no direct links to there, everything goes through Aus. I'm lucky that my ISP has a descent amount of capacity on those cables and good peering agreements, I can get a solid 600MB/s to any American server but would struggle to get 200 to anywhere in Asia.

Yeah, obviously Starlink wont be free, it will cost way more than anyone looking for some home uplink is prepared to pay, he talked about certain military customers, airplanes and ships and such.

Starlink in itself is not very interesting, but at the same time it is extremely interesting becuse they will use the profits from it, which I hope will be real high, to build the vehicles that goes to Mars, the Heart of Gold itself.

>100-200 satellites in constant orbit upon completion
Try 12,000. Because that's what they're planning, in multiple shells.

That happens all the time with your cell phone when it hands over to the next tower it works so well usually you dont notice anything. They probably just reused the cell tower tech and adapted it for their system.

>more bullshit clogging up orbital space

>It's mainly for third world countries
oh, boy. I can't wait to hear what all those doctors, lawyers, and scientists have to say.

I was actually thinking of the same concept, but I guess with a satellite it would be a bit more complicated and harder to maintain

>Tiny satellites in VLEO/LEO that turn into a puff of smoke when they deorbit.
>OMG KESSLER SYNDROME SKY IS FALLING THIS IS JUST LIKE MY ANIMES!

even 56k tier shiternet for free would be great, assuming it was actually free.

Ah, I missed the one to Seattle, guess that helps a lot, yeah the australian cable was the one I talked about, when it came it was actuelly detremental as most NZ traffic does not go to but through Australia. The southern cross uses old technology, but I know they have upgraded the endpoints a few times, it is still rather limited.

I'm glad it is improving then, NZ is my favourite country and I kind of see myself settling down there one day, good internet the makes the place far more livable.

Don’t believe everything Elon says you fucking idiot

It's not and it wont be gratis.

Hey dude can you maybe calm your jets a little bit? This forum is a public place, and the number 1 rule is we all treat each other with RESPECT. Cussing and calling people names is not cool, man. How would you like it if people talked to you like that?

They're actually turning low orbit into a minefield, how curious.

>ruining ground astronomy so botswana can have dial up

thanks elon

Ironically, Starlink is an attempt by SpaceX to monetize all that R&D they've been sinking into rockets for the last decade and start bringing in some revenue. People complaining about SpaceX getting government subsidies and being a scam should be cheering this. It's a pretty ambitious project and will be a game changer for folks in rural areas. I don't see it being able to compete well with fiber and 5G in metros and the suburbs, though.

SpaceX isn't the only one getting into this either, I though Bezos and Branson were both planning to launch similar networks as well.

Stupid people misinterpret shit all the time. It's not free at all. It's free and open and not censored. Not free as in free beer. He doesn't run a fucking charity. A single Falcon 9 launch runs in the neighborhood of ~$60 million per launch, and that's 60 satellites per launch.

Yeah, but only Bezos is a real contender there. Branson backed OneWeb is a bit of a Iridium 2.0 thing with clunkier satellites and far fewer of them.

Haha, this cracks me up. Your right of course, but I've been here long enough to not even see it anymore, gets you desnsitized I guess...

There is something to be said for civility, it is a virtue and our western heritage. The opposite if civility is degeneracy and we are far down that lane...

THE FIRST TRANSPORT IS AWAY

Mind you, Bezos' Project Kuiper hasn't launched a single fucking thing though. He did manage to poach the former VP of SpaceX's Starlink division for it, it's 3 times smaller than Starlink's intended full size though.

Oh and I'm not from Vietnam, but Northeren Europe only visiting here.

Economy will collapse. Noone will work.

Apart from the sub-tier cables this place is an internet mecca. By the end of this year, you'll be able to get 8Gbps fibre in every street in urban/suburban NZ, with 5G/LTE+ wireless to back it up, govt is spending hard to get fast internets and mobile data pretty much everywhere. I think the biggest difference will be when we finally get good connections/peering to Asia, and the Southern Cross has been upgraded in it's entirety as far as i'm aware but still has low capacity as 6Tbps

>Economy will collapse
Yeah, any moment now.

It’s gonna be a fucking shit show. Starlink will offer broadband internet for as little as $5USD a month at a profit. I’m currently paying $78/mo, but I’ll tell Spectrum to eat a shit sandwich if it’s even $20 less with comparable service. Elon Musk will own the worldwide satellite broadband and the only places that won’t be allowed to have it will be authoritarian shitholes like China and North Korea.

my INTERNET IS ONLY 11MBPS
WHAT WILL THIS ONES SPEED BE
ill literally take anything over this bros..

>free
NO REFUNDS

Yeah it’s already a big no no to have a satellite receiver in China. If the chinks can’t control it it’s forbidden.

Unlikely to have worse latency unless the server you are gaming on is rather close to you. Much better performance for worldwide gaming than terrestrial internet.

It is everywhere already. You can't possibly use such speed anyways unless you download 4k movies where you can't notice any difference from fullhd or if if there starts streaming IoT like driving car from afar

Wifi frequencies are deadly to humans and once they permeate the earth all insects relying on emf navigation will die (bees, ants), the plants will shrivel and become diseased, the parasites will multiply, and the plague known as mankind will finally be culled.

But what does it matter? You’re all too fucking stupid to understand what is coming. Keep worrying about your coronavirus kids.

This people don’t realize that one of the key purposes of starlink is to create a space blockade. When push comes to shove starlink satellites can be used to Kamakazi rockets.

Average internet usage here is like 1TB/month on fibre connections, we have one of the highest streaming utilisations in the world (1.5m Netflix subscriptions in a country of 4.7m) and uptake in 4K technology has been high with cheap TVs, etc, plus a lot of individuals and businesses using Cloud storage now too. When you give people a good internet connection that is universally available, you start to make use of the services convenient to you I guess

>Wifi frequencies are deadly to humans
Go hide in your cabin, Ted.
