[FRIAM] Starlink

[Gary Schiltz]

It depends on what's on the other end of your fiber connection :-)  Here in
land that tech forgot, getting more than a few tens of megabits feels
luxurious. One carrier has fiber optic passing over my property, and they
offered to tap into it and give me 20 megabits for the low low price of
$100 a month. Starlink's 300 megabits for $45 a month is heaven on earth.
Isn't Santa Fe still sort of part of the third world?
