[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3231469, member: 29267"] No, it won’t compete with wired broadband options. I don’t think it’s meant to, for the most part, except maybe slower DSL. We won’t know how good SpaceX’s satellite internet service will be until we try it. But latency should be much better than other satellite internet. Typical internet satellites are at a 22,000 mile orbit. SpaceX will be at about 700 miles. I can relate to choosing dialup rather than current satellite options. I had the displeasure of troubleshooting a HughesNet connection at a summer camp a friend ran years ago. I was in high school, so this was around 15 years ago. Don’t know if it’s better than it was then, but after that experience I would rather have dialup. [/QUOTE]
