How are we going to do this?

No because the reasons are:
1. Higher upfront cost
2. Starlink is in beta, people wait months to receive the kit they preorder

3. Higher power consumption, for a place running on solar power

4. Lower bandwidth

5. Higher latency

 

Let's see the numbers you based the above on.

Or did you just make all that up?

I love how Linus and Jake were trying to spot each other basically at sea level at a distance of 5 km. At that distance, the curvature of the Earth literally hides anything smaller than 2 meters. And that's not even accounting for waves or tides or other optical nonsense from evaporation. Funny how even non-flat Earthers can forget that we live on a globe. 

Judging from this calculator, the curvature of the earth would only have hidden Linus' ankles at most.  From 2M above the water, distance to horizon is 5.05km.

Linus wearing something brighter than a black shirt and blue jeans would have helped more.
