We pay 180 USD a month for a phone line and DSL from Century Link. This connection is 1.5 mbps down and 500 kbps up in practice (advertised speeds are higher). Starlink has been a game changer for us.

Damn... hope your wages make up for this man.

It's crazy, in a lot of rural areas ISPs know they can charge the moon for terrible service and they justify it by saying how hard it is to service remote locations... at least for some 4G is a new alternative that is more readily available than Starlink.
