A question I ask myself a lot.
Went through the same thing RE Starlink. Had it as a backup connection for over a year and when we needed it I found it had been fried. Apparently common with Starlink - nearby lightning strikes cause it to shit the bed.
Out of warranty of course, so had to buy a new one which was different in every way so had to re-run everything.
Also despite already being a customer, we had to sign up again because it doesn't transfer from one device to another... and now our area is ineligible for the cheaper fixed location rate because it's at capacity. So we're paying the roaming rate. For a service installed in the exact same spot as the fried device.
Man I would be saying absolutely fuck that. Your claimed warranty is bs. ACL requires a product be replaced for the entire reasonable lifetime of the product.
Doesn't transfer from one device to another. Jesus, but you're still the same person right ? They must think so far ahead about how best to milk the human.
