Most Satellite Internet users use Starlink.

Most Satellite data (including non internet data) is delivered over Starlink.

Most Satellite Internet revenue is from Starlink customers.

And I'm sure a certain Eastern European country wouldn't be asking to extend coverage to Russia if it was truly "scarcely an alternative"

The cost (actually price) you're complaining about is lower than than other satellite providers and significantly lower than what was available in 2019. Around the pricing of more expensive mobile internet data plans meant for hotspots (in the US)

I'm pretty sure no one paying residential pricing back was doing >1TB/month on SATCOM

The performance for most users is definitely above the 100/10 99ms advertised (per Ookla)

How long are these "regular outages"? Have you used the service in 2026?
