Starlink shared bandwidth amidst their network makes Comcast look generous.

Between fighting for bandwidth amidst everyone else going to the same base station, random assigned IP addresses that occasionally end up with accusations of pirating you had no partaking in, and storms messing with your signal quality, I would heavily advocate against any reliance on it for business related operations.

Starlink also does not offer static IP addresses.

They do, albeit I don't know the exact details as to pricing and everything. My company uses Starlink as a backup WAN connection at one of our sites, and it has a static IP.


From their official site:

> Although truly static IPs are not available, a reservation system retains the public IPv4 address and IPv6 prefix even when the system is off or rebooted.

You have a potentially stable address, but not a truly static one.
