    A friend of mine who works with (mobile) connectivity in remote areas said about eutelsat that they’re not really a challenger to starlink. ⅕ the speed, 3-4x ping times, some “issues with routing” whatever that means (looking at a conversation from two months ago). Roughly 10 years behind starlink.

    Maybe it’s better for non-mobile connectivity though, such as a cabin in the woods.

      In my company, they were looking for backup Internet acess for fixed locations outside well-connected areas, such as manufacturing plants, so it may ne useful there. Thanks for the info!!
