What speed, cost, data caps do you get from your current provider? I'd be surprised if any of the conventional (GEOSAT) offerings could beat it.

The only satellite ISP worth considering, IMHO, is Starlink. But you'll have to be patient. The wait could be months.

My current provider offers up-to 1gbps, but I’ve never bothered upgrading from the 100mpbs that was the only thing available when I first signed up. It’s not great, but has been fine for all but a handful of applications that have other bottlenecks besides home internet speed.

The satellite providers I looked at offer 100mpbs for twice the gigabit plan of my current provider, but ’the current provider has shafted me on more than one occasion.
