Unless someone can spare me $70,000 so I can pay the install fee for a Comcast Internet connection to my home in downtown Chicago, I have to stick with T-Mobile for my main Net connection.

Are you new to the area?

Because there is no reason to get internet from any of the big boys if you're in downtown Chicago. All you need is fiber to the big brick building next to McCormick Place, and there is fiber under every El track, in the old freight tunnels, along the Metra tracks, and just plain old every street.

This is probably the best of the dozen choices you have. When I lived downtown, I got gigabit internet for $15 a month.

You've got to be kidding me if you think you want Comcast.

Huh. Thank you. I'd never heard of these guys before. I'll give them a call.

Good luck, I've had great experiences in two different condo towers.

Starlink (if/when available)?

When I was shopping around there was a huge backorder on the receivers because of the chip shortage. In the end, for a wireless connection, the 5G T-Mobile one works out better in bandwidth and latency.
