Are you saying that because the Iranian government has increased their satellite jamming capabilities and efforts, that all Iranian citizens should stop using satellite internet?
Or are you under the impression that because the government may be jamming signals in one, or multiple different locations, that they’re jamming all frequencies, in all places, at all times?
I’m saying that they’ve managed to reduce reliability of satellite internet from 80 down to 30 %. You don’t need that many locations if you can point a jammer at the satellite. There’s ways around the jamming for sure, but that still decreases the percentage of people able to do that.
It takes a lot of juice to jamn radio signals though, the farther away from where you are jambing the harder it becomes as I understand it, an inverse square root.
Except that the Iranian government has also been jamming satellite internet.

Do you know how they jamn the satelites?
It was something about base stations needing to know their own precise location. So they messed with the GPS signal.
And it isn’t 100% effective, of course.
