I hope Starlink ends up panning out. Their goal is global coverage and gigabit internet via satellites.

Wait, what internet can you get on a yacht in the middle of the ocean, that you can't get in North America?

Faster than dial up speeds. I have to beg our internet connection to work some days. Really worth $85 a month, not.

Virtually all of North America has access to 4g, and satellite internet, both of which are far faster than dial up.

lol, when people say "half" in an argument like this, they're really fudging what people think of as half -- in this case probably counting shit like national parks because that's land in the country, despite the fact you're not going to have infrastructure in those areas.

Not affordable.


That's relative, and it's not significantly more than the $50 that is average for internet cost in the US. That's ignoring your fact you're original argument was that Yacht internet was better, then it just needed to be better than dial up, then it also needed to meet an undefined "affordable" threshold.

Lol I was thinking it was $75, plans actually start at $50, so it's literally the average price of internet.

What we have now costs $85 a month and its complete shit.
