Had you written the word “torrent” as a pronoun (using an upper case “T”), I would have realized that you were referring to the name of a product, not something involving torrents of water.
So yes! perhaps we both missed something xyzzy.
Oh the joys of present day communication.

One of my favourite sites has no TV coverage, no phone signal, no internet, the only connection to the outside world is radio 4 on DAB. A Kathrine flat antenna with Humax pvr fills a gap
Yep Andy H, the SpaceX StarLink system is coming to a campsite near you very soon.
In fact SpaceX are putting 60 yes 60 micro satellites into space this coming Wednesday 15th May, as they start to build out the StarLink system.
Full on broadband in your unit, using an antenna the size of a 10" pizza box.
The test satellites for the system have been in space for a year or so now, and it's just a matter of time for SpaceX to get the other 4000! LEO satellites up there to complete the system.
SpaceX aren't daft, as they will be sneaking the StarLink micro satellites in with the payload of there paying customers who want there full size satellites launching into geostationary orbits, so the set up of StarLink will almost be self funding.
When StarLink hits the streets, it will put terrestrial delivered cellular and broadband services out of business.
In fact for folk that want to stay with terrestrial delivered services, it will probably come as totally free as the infrastructure will remain in place.

I'm not talking about a pronoun or a product just the incredibly popular protocol used for TV and movies.
