Doesn’t Starlink absolutely suck in areas with high population density?

They should find a company not associated with Musk. He’s shown his colors and the world needs to see people like him fail.
Stop enabling him.
Who would want to use some Neo Nazi satellites
India’s security is probably still better than trusting Felon Musk with your stuff
And a collective shiver just rattled down the spine of every 18 to 35 year old white woman of above average attractiveness with a non-private Instagram account. Even by your typical internet standards, Indian online etiquette is beyond atrocious. I’m sure adding 650 million more of them will be greeeeeeat.
Security concerns can be addressed easily , those border areas are all too poor to afford starlink
The main problem is most people with the means to afford starlink have very reliable and cheap fiber connections. 5G connection is also widely available and very cheap starlink has a small market as of now
