Rural US guy here. Starlink was a game changer. Believe it or not. I had neighbors nearby still on freaking dial up until 2 years ago. Today it's Starlink at 150Mbs/s down, a phone company with copper lines at 12Mbs down, or something like Hughesnet at 2Mbs down
However I'd love to get the hell away from Elmo's stuff... Even if it costs more.
