"By jamming GPS and satellite signals, authorities have reportedly degraded Starlink performance, with data suggesting packet loss has reached 30%."


That's a lot of loss. Curious if their existing forward error correction could be updated to use a larger window even if that means reducing potential speed in circumstances like this. I am also curious if any of the Starlink engineers are on HN. Reason I ask is their first customer was supposed to be the US Army. They would want reliability over speed during such attacks.
