Forget Amazon, they're just another Trump tech bro. Has anybody tried one of these? https://ioplus.nl/en/posts/these-are-the-six-european-alternatives-to-elon-musks-starlink

A friend of mine who works with (mobile) connectivity in remote areas said about eutelsat that they're not really a challenger to starlink. ⅕ the speed, 3-4x ping times, some "issues with routing" whatever that means (looking at a conversation from two months ago). Roughly 10 years behind starlink.

Maybe it's better for non-mobile connectivity though, such as a cabin in the woods.

In my company, they were looking for backup Internet acess for fixed locations outside well-connected areas, such as manufacturing plants, so it may ne useful there. Thanks for the info!!
