UK Starlink users reconsider subscriptions due to Musk's politics

theguardian.com

Starlink's user base in the UK has grown significantly, from 13,000 subscribers three years ago to 87,000 last year. However, some users are reconsidering their subscriptions due to Elon Musk's political involvement, particularly his connection to Donald Trump. Frustrations have surfaced among users, with some expressing discomfort over Musk's actions. Alternatives like Eutelsat and Viasat are gaining attention as potential replacements for Starlink, especially in rural areas where internet access is limited. Despite the discontent, many users still rely on Starlink for connectivity. The company has introduced a congestion charge in high-demand areas, reflecting its growing popularity.
