Nomenclature clarification, usually by Satellite we mean things like HughsNet or Marlink or the other satellite internet providers that use upper orbit satellites instead of the low orbit that Starlink uses. Starlink is Satellite Magic.Starlink is satellite based, I have it as my main connection here in the UK, it draws 90 watts under full load and give me around 300/350Mbps
Sadly, still waiting on my Starlink... already paid the deposit, now just waiting...
As a point of reference for my comment, and just to demonstrate how magical Starlink is, I work on container ships and often times I'm "The Computer Guy" so I've been all up in our Marlink satellite internet system multiple times. We have the "Fastest package available" according to Marlink and the best speed test I've ever seen, with everything but the laptop unplugged from the cabinet, was 2.4Mb with ping times between 2.8-3.7 seconds. Yes, ping times in the whole seconds. Once 4:30 rolls around and everyone onboard checks their FacePage and email you're LUCKY to get spikes of 64Kb/s so it's "up to" dial-up speeds.
