There's a good chance you have other options. Regardless of how you feel about the company's head, Starlink would probably be one of them, with likely better performance than you're dealing with on ADSL.

But you cannot just sue a company because their network connected software doesn't work well on slow networks. Let alone a project like OpenSSH. It would be like me suing a game studio because my PC doesn't meet their listed minimum requirements to play the game.

Hey, it is one thing to buy a new computer, it is another thing to ask people to move.

A better analogy is a bank redlining neighborhoods. The cost to run fiber to difficult rural locations pays itself easily if you look at a 25-year time span and is an order of magnitude less than building a new housing unit on the West Coast.

> another thing to ask people to move.

One half of my comment was actually about how you most likely have a better performing alternative option right where you already live. And even if you didn't, they're not asking you to move. You could argue they're not even asking you to use their software, you're electing to.

It's OSS with no warranty. You can compile it yourself with the option disabled. It's only ever on for pty connections (physical user with a keyboard), there's no added traffic for ttys.
