    If you live in the DC area, absolutely do NOT sign up for this service.

    100% chance that the government, as well as musks companies would be monitoring you directly 24/7.

      I recently bought a van and am planning on road tripping while working. I had assumed that I would get starlink so I could work pretty much anywhere.

      That is dead and I guess I’ll have to make sure I’m within range of a cell tower on working days.
