      > There is some corresponding good news for people in areas with more Starlink capacity. Starlink “regional savings,” introduced a few months ago, provides a $100 service credit in parts of the US “where Starlink has abundant network availability.” The credit is $200 in parts of Canada with abundant network availability.

      People with abundant network availability have options, and therefore aren’t choosing an expensive one like Starlink.

      Pay $100 for the privilege of waiting in line for slower internet. Sweet.

      Y’know, my router has a setting called “airtime fairness” that deals with congestion on the local network. Maybe Starlink should activate that setting on the satellites instead? /s

      I liked Starlink, but this charge is making me reconsider.
