Starlink wil be quite competitive with Fibre on latency, but not on speed yet.

Our local (rural) telco just upgraded us to 75 MBps (up and down) Fios @ no additional charge. With all fees and taxes included, I think we pay about $70 a month.

To be honest, the old 50 MBps was plenty fast for us, even including my daughter’s gaming. I probably ought to see what the next cheapest speed the telco offers is.

I wonder if Musk will offer service to local telcos to break them free of the big guys? Not everyone can pony up for that $500 antenna.
