If you are subscribed to Starlink (internet), what is it like when relying on satellite connection for both online live service play (as in multiplayer) and casual gaming? I’ve heard that star link internet sucks, is the subscription even worth the money? How well does satellite connection hold up in comparison to oceanic fiber optic cable internet? (Which is the most common form of connecting for the majority as it’s been around longer).

    Just watching users hit my servers with Starlink connections … they constantly drop and reconnect, sometimes on 5 different IP’s within a half hour. I can probably go to prometheus right now and SS a graph.

    Their customers in the US are mainly people who have to ditch their local WiFi provider. You’ll get disconnects a lot.
