What makes sense is the quality of service offered at the price point. There's a reason why Starlink outcompeted Hughes so badly.

Yeah, but as this article points out, the price point is a lie.

The price point has been very much true, it is just early on the enshittification curve.

With these price hikes, we'll see.

My point was that Hughes was really bad.
