Can one of you networking experts explain why every ISP that I know of limits the up bandwidth to a small fraction of the down?

Ours is 940 symmetrical as is Google fiber and most ISP's that have fiber

Care to put that into laymans terms?

940 up and down

940 up and down

That's what we get for our managed 1 Gb symmetrical fiber around here.

Is there any word on user configuration of Starlink? I saw in their order form that the router config is stored in Starlink's cloud, and you can only access it that way.

I'd like to:
a) have a static IP,
b) be able to network many devices behind their router using hardwire ethernet, and network switches,
c) also connect to the router using wifi (for guests.)

Anyone know if those things are possible?

Thanks! That is some progress. The website estimates mid to late 2021 for 37 degrees north.

All the best,
