With how much they are losing per terminal, no surprise they don't want
to lose anything else on the deal. Also hold up your hand if you
_haven't_ seen performance drop on _fill_in_the_blank_ new tech when the
customers actually start using it. Basically wastage will expand to
absorb any bandwidth that isn't somehow regulated.. Last I heard they
were at 10K customers, any new numbers?

middle of nowhere 30 miles away.
Also speeds have slowly eroded from gigabit to 50 megabits.
I suspect this is much ado about nothing. It will relieve customers who can’t
get something but shouldn’t be a major concern.

I had signed up for Starlink internet service. I got a notice this afternoon that it is
available at our home address for beta-level service. Speed & latency will be variable,
and there will "brief" intervals of no service.
But the prices they had announced has an interesting "*" to it. The $499
equipment fee does not include shipping and handling (another $50), plus another $49 and
change for tax. So instead of paying $499, it's more like $599. All due before they will
process the order.
