Lots of locations don't have access to DSL or other forms of internet. We have a house in upstate NY where we can't even get dial-up. Don't even have a cell signal there. Currently using HughesNet which at least allowed our daughter to keep up with college classes.

Received StarLink about 6 weeks ago and it's a lifesaver. $100/month means we can use our property while maintaining work and school.

My office was in a suburb of Washington D.C., but for some reason, Verizon offered only DSL at that location. For years I struggled with low bandwidth, long download times, and spotty internet connections. When the pandemic hit, much of my business required Zoom connections that DSL was unable handle. After 25 years, I was forced to dump my Verizon account and switch to Comcast, which offered internet over cable. What a difference that made: super fast connections, almost instant download and transmission of large files, and smooth and seamless Zoom meetings.
