Yep, find a cheapo 5g modem with an ethernet port that’s capable of being given an identity crisis from the usual sources and you’ll be golden…ask me how I know. We ain’t got shit out where I am other than garbage DSL, but decent 5g coverage from the big 3 surprisingly.
Starlink only serves a purpose in truly rural or remote areas where, unsurprisingly, they’ll make no money. The number of people I see using it as a backup connection or aggregate it with terrestrial cable or fiber connections is obscene… and a waste of money imo.
I thought about it and I believe the pricing was 199 a month. I had other options they were much cheaper.
Yeah, that’s expensive for something that is really only useful for people that live entirely off grid. And those people are usually broke too.
I was willing to pay you to a hundred not to have a contract.
I’ll also give you no contract if you want to pay me too.

I’m not “rural” but oddly in a new subdivision that doesn’t have a lot of access yet.
I went with the mobile 5g. 50 bucks a month. I’d say it’s great 95% of the time. I video conference just fine.
Only thing that doesn’t work great is my Plex.
What kind of upstream throughput are you getting?
For 5g? About 20. My other end is 1 gig fiber. I get about 250 down on 5g
