Comment on Ask HN: Is Satellite Internet Viable for Remote Dev Work?

Comments

Starlink will do everything you want. Older satellite services relying on geosynchronous satellites will not; they have very limited bandwidth and very high latencies.

Checked their map and it's pretty spotty in the areas we're looking: Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia. I'll keep an eye on the map going forward to see if they expand.

Yea, they’re at capacity in a lot of places in the Eastern US. The coverage is great, but they’ve also got a lot of people using it.

Will it drop out on zoom calls?
