yeah, you can't turn off your home's lighting, additionally everyone lives in cities anyway, so it's moot!
Everyone lives in cities?

Everyone lives in cities?
can't you turn off your home's lights?

Okay, try turning your lights off tonight and report back with how many additional stars you can see.

Guys hi, just looking for some support share, a Fantasy Adventure Story, for all ages and just some entertain with some storyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mVIvQ1wsgg - maybe you are curious

Thank you so much ! /s
Come and join me where the options are many and the price is so cheap. /s /sIf you'd like to experience what it's like to access the internet sans Starlink, perhaps you could just throttle your modem to 8 or even 10 Mbps. Yes? No? Then consider how lucky you are, and have some empathy for those of us who have little or no alternative.
Your options are limited not by random angry dude on the Internet, but by deliberate and calculated lack of development conspired between legislators and telecoms. Starlink will hit the limits imposed by physics and geometry, and then will get worse and worse the more people sign up.

It's been over a year since the last big Starlink outage. That's a lot better than my old DSL provider.
That’s a ridiculously low bar in 2025. What even is twisted pair DSL??

"I know millions of people use their service because it's the only real option they have, but because it's associated with this one guy I don't like, they can all eat a dick!"

Them: "We need a strong central government to protect everyone!"
Me: "Don't do that! If bad people get control there's gonna be trouble!"
Them: "You just hate people!" votes for strong government
Them when that strong government is then taken over by bad people:

You seem to know a lot about these limits, can you elaborate?
I don't think there are actual physics limitations on network capacity right now

I live in a country praised for its IT industry, digital government and whatever
I got off ADSL in 2024. Fucking lol. I don't even live on a farm or anything. Lucky to receive fiber though, now they want to prioritize 5G home connections instead.

HugesNet has low throughput but it's pretty reliable. I had high hopes for Starlink but it seems to be a dud.
I'm sorry, but not even having a Musk backed product as my only alternative could get me to use HugesNet's antifunctional service. Literally dialup is better.

That's what I hear, but my experience is different

Is that accurate though? Assume a satellite is in a decaying orbit (thus too low to contribute to Kessler syndrome on its own) and another satellite is in a different orbit eccentricity-wise but they both collide. Are we certain that none of the pieces from the collision would acquire enough speed to become boloids that contribute to Kessler syndrome?
Time to go down the rabbit hole that is orbital mechanics for me again. Byeeee lol
Edit: looks like the lowest orbit for starlink's first shell is at 550km which is very much above VLEO and would definitely be a factor in Kessler Syndrome.
Most starlink satellites are set to deorbit themselves upon failure to avoid this. However the de orbiting could still fail and then it should take about a year or so to deorbit itself?
So it looks like there is a low possibility of it initiating Kessler syndrome. But it's not negligible.
For your question, no. There's no way for an object to have an orbit that doesn't intersect the same altitude where an impulse happened. They could be knocked into an eccentric orbit, but it at least has to have the lowest point at the highest point of the Starlink network.
This is not to say it can't hit something else after that changes the perigee at a later point in it's orbit, thus lifting it higher. For a single collusion though, no, at least with the collision alone.
