The cutouts vary. It's not "every 10 minutes". DSL latency is not standard, it can vary a lot. Latency for the beta is worse than it will be for production. For the people this is marketed to, it's life changing. If you think it's overpriced, you were never the target demographic.

Isn't that true of every product?

I would say it becomes increasingly relevant given that SpaceX has a multi-billion dollar SAM at the currently expected price/performance.

Almost. It's possible for a company to overprice the product for their target demographic. But then it's likely that they fail to acquire customers and go out if business. So it's generally true.

It's still very easy to forget.

I think parent was taking a stab at DSL, not StarLink. They could be from Australia, haha.
