[Starlink] impressed with my starlink today

[David Lang]

I work remotely and routinely use Starlink for video calls while doing other 
uploads/downloads. As do several others at my company. Some of us are in rural 
areas, I'm in Southern California, but in a place that doesn't have fiber 
available (predicted to arrive at my address sometime next year)

Starlink occasionally has hiccups, but not significantly more so than other 
people's network connections.
