yes, starlink does respond to its customers' complaints, although sometimes slowly. its ipv4 address acquisition is scattered around as a latecomer to the isp world, and as a global local isp, it's more troublesome. ip packets have to be tunneled back to its home pop where nat and other functions happen, sometimes around the world, causing a much higher minimum rtt fluctuation in 15-second handover intervals---bad for network protocols and applications. ipv6 can do better but currently follows the same route as ipv4---an incentive to promote ipv6 ;-) -- J Pan, UVic CSc, ECS566, 250-472-5796 (NO VM), p...@uvic.ca, Web.UVic.CA/~pan
