>1gbps
35mbps upload

remember, it's free to receive data:
broadcast TV
radio
junk mail

the price you are paying is for the ability to send data
so never compare on download speed
always compare on upload

also this is the new era of piracy
we need to destroy the jewish rentiers who start wars and print money
>>
>>110033138
nta but 1gbps up/down here is $70
>>
>>110033120
Nope, just claim you want to cancel and they'll keep giving you the introductory rate for another year or 2, especially if you're in a spectrum/frontier duopoly city
>>
>>110033312
They have me a free subscription to prime last month because fidium moved into town. Was almost tempted to jump to fidium, but their reviews are horrific and spectrum is ok enough
>>
>>110033325
I stick with spectrum cus the cable modem rental is included in the price and isn't some additional fee.

Is starlink good for privacy?

Genuine question bro, I'm not in the US so maybe it's better than local ISPs

what?!
you are retarded
fiber and coax work exactly the same except for the baseband
>>
>>110033111
I'm paying $40/month for fiber in rural Virginia. I think that's just a you thing.
>>
>>110034186
What software are you using, what's your threat model?
Short answer: it doesn't fucking matter unless you're being extremely retarded.

>>110034270
Fedora linux, EU is getting really weird lately so maybe freedomstan is better at internet

Fiber goes to NSA centers.

this! I'm glad I learned about it. it is such a scam.
>>
>>110033111
Are you with Spectrum? They still run coaxial to the home, right? You're probably getting 50 Mbps upstream while AT&T is all about fiber.

>NSA centers.
it all goes through the NSA. even starlink, cellular data, ipv6... ALL of it

the IP you are assigned has nothing to do with the connection medium. thats a decision by the ISP.

yeah but your router probably has 4 ports that each can dish out full bandwidth, plus wifi 6e and 7 can go over 1gbps
>>
>>110034523
Wish there was a chinese or russian starlink.
>>
>>110034545
actually it only has one 5gbps port, the others are only 1gbps
and it's only regular wifi 6, no 6e either

it pisses me off cause i'd have to buy a 5gbps switch if i wanted to use it with more than one thing so i've just resigned to wait till natural upgrades happen instead of forcibly upgrading
>>
(unless you were meaning that i can get 4 hosts going at 1gbps each, which yeah that's kind of how i have it set up now and can do >1gbps like that)

>starlink
lag
bouncing your internet traffic all over the stratosphere from satellite to satellite adds massive latency

terrestrial fiber is the fastest.

it's just physics
>>
>>110033111
don't worry, when they require you to scan your face and upload it before you use the internet, you'll think of this as small apples
>>
>>110034565
Some places like germany have such dogshit offerings that even starlink is better

>germany
well its faster because everything is in the US
its not like germany has the US scale hyperscalers

so its not that ground is slower
it's that starlink gets you a more direct route to US resources

>>110034556
you can get a switch with 2x 10gbps copper ports and 4x 2.5gbps ports for $66
(10gb[s ports can connect at 5gbps)
