An alternative implies a someone equivalent product. Other satellite services aren't equivalent. It's like telling someone to cancel their fiber and use a dial up modem because its equivalent.

Also: 5G based … gateways

If 5g was available everywhere, no one would use Starlink which is slower and more expensive. Starlink is used where you can't get 5g.

You have now responded with ... entirely missing the point I was making.
