Indeed, which is why it's frustrating to see so many unsubstantiated reports of high power usage. It's just not the case and of course it's going to use more than a home DSL router/modem combo but it in fact uses less than my very expensive and claimed energy effficient fridge/freezer whch cost substantially more than Starlink did.
IT's a very impressive piece of technology which has been the easiest to implement of any piece of technology that I've had experience of. Stick it on a pole, plug in a power cable, plug in a router, grab an IPv4 & IPv6 address and go. Downtime has been less than both DSL & 4G-LTE connections.
The main achiles heal currently is currently upload speeds which are poor and variable, also with persistant network/client to network VPN connections you can expect frequent drops & reconnections. (maybe next gen sats with inter sat comms will cure that?) GCNAT is frustrating but IPv6 addressing helps a lot over come that
For those in areas of poor connectivity it's a game changer and Starlink are 5 years ahead of the other players, and if like me your local echange is not on BT/Openreach fiber upgrade planning out to 2026 then its a no brainer.
Just to clear another frequenty quoted error about the cost.
