What else would this affect?
Your connection to their satellite might go uninterrupted, but if the OP question about 'no internet' occured then starlink would also go down as taking down the entire net would require collapsing the NAPs
Correct, with the exception of any site with direct peering to a NAP/IXP. GAW would go down. The banks would probably still be a direct connect. Hard to tell until it happens. If the NAP/IXPs go down, then Starlink would be likely worthless, unless they have some content or information to be published from their ground stations.
