how seamless is it for a total rube?
My 75 year old dad lives in a very remote area of Wisconsin and has never had internet, only Dish satellite cable. He has a smartphone with data but no computer so absolutely not tech savvy at all, pretty much just knows his way around his phone. I'm thinking of getting him the Starlink service so he can stream on his smart tv and get rid of the Dish package all together, but I'm kind of wondering if that could end up being a mistake? Like if that transition would be hard for him to learn the ropes of without me around? How often does the network require troubleshooting, a reboot, or software upgrade? Is customer service easily available by phone? If it regularly requires an app I could see him struggling with that. Is he doomed to just overpay for crummy cable service forever?
