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.

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
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.
