As a rural resident, I am on Starlink and it is really good but there has been some fed money trickle down that has been laying fiber in the area. I got fiber to the house two days ago. Not installed inside yet. I have to make the decision to switch which should be easy with the higher fiber speed and half the monthly cost. Ill surely switch but i feel guilty about abandoning Musk. Will keep the equipment ready for backup though.
For a lot of people Fiber will never be an option, the cost of laying the cable versus the number of potential subscribers that would sign up makes it economically unviable.
Starlink is the best option but Hughes Net and ViaSat are lesser products but better than any other high speed options for a lot of people.
I’ve always viewed fiber as a bait and switch deal, upfront it’s advertised as faster and cheaper, once you are hooked the price will go up substantially and the speeds will never match the advertised speed.
On the surface fiber would be a great choice, I just like the idea of satellite service versus a land based system.
I have a coworker who got Starlink while he was living in his RV, waiting for his house to be built. He’s keeping it because he can take it anywhere. I looked at the cost and chose differently.
