Forget Amazon, they’re just another Trump tech bro. Has anybody tried one of these? https://ioplus.nl/en/posts/these-are-the-six-european-alternatives-to-elon-musks-starlink
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!!
The only one that’s operational and suitable for home internet is OneWeb. They don’t sell the service to directly to consumers though.
How do you get access to them then? Do they get resold via other telcos?
OneWeb mainly sells to businesses, but they also sell to other ISPs that resell to consumers.
Neat to see some competition developing in this space.
