Your comment resonates with me. From our rural house in Ontario there are no other APs visible. None, but our own. I've even started disabling encryption just because I can. But we struggle to get even basic internet connectivity. Interesting that on both ends of the spectrum there are issues.

Starlink is not available in your area?

starlink only just went publicly available - its going to take a while to filter out to people who it could benefit.

Just got a Starlink invitation. But it has very expensive monthly rates, that are more than twice the rate of standard isp's. In rural areas. $136 in Canada. Plus a lot of hardware. (625$) It is very cool, though. Haven't decided. At this time - Only worth it as a tech geek out, experiment. (Unless it gets better and cheaper.)
