There isn't an alternative to using Starlink. Starlink is first of it's kind and consumes nearly the entire low-earth orbit. It's not a matter of making a capitalist switch from one company to another, it's a utility that when deactivated, an alternative may not be readily available.

Being told that you have access to a service, and then losing that access without notice, is a complicated situation, regardless of the application.

Except, this was a case of never having access to the service in the region because the satellites were not active.  And were not turned on upon request.

Starlink had been clear that it would provide internet for civilian purposes only.  The requested service would have been to aid drone strikes.
