This is completely wrong though, I've seen 220 down/40 up out of it. They've apparently been trying to stay right around their commitment level while building out as quickly as possible, and let it slip a bit under on a third party speed test. But that can be relatively easily remedied by reducing subscriber growth vs new satellite launches. And literally just today we saw another significant step towards Starship launching with the first static fire of Raptor 2 on a full Super Heavy booster. That'll bring far more launches of the much more powerful Starlink v2.0 satellites. It's brand new cutting edge technology bringing service right now to people abandoned to dialup or ludicrously expensive lines or HEO sat for decades. It's already been a life changer.
Their plans for further scaling are solid and in progress. The tech is obviously and objectively capable. The lobbying against it has been intense for completely befuddling reasons though, but even so this is a really disappointing decision.
