I have no doubt.

I am pretty ticked off at cable and would love to move to Starlink but I can not justify it on financial grounds. If the price ever drops to 75% of cable or if the price of the equipment goes down the game will shift drastically.

This is why the government is slow-walking SpaceX Starship launch paperwork.

Musk needs Starship to be able to launch the much-larger Starlink V2 satellite, which would provide much more capacity.

We had the choice of dial up or Verizon wireless wifi. We took Verizon for nearly 15 years and got 17-20MPS download and 7 upload and paid $110 a month. After 22G used they could throttle us back.

We were offered through a county program Starlink equipment for free and a years service free. We accepted it and the biggest problem was getting it installed in a good location. Now we download from 75-185MPS or faster and upload is pretty consistent at 15-17MPS. We pay $110 a month with better speeds and quality. We did come out ahead not having to buy the equipment. I would recommend Starlink.
