I live in downtown Chicago and I can't get wired Internet for less than $70,000 installation. I would have gone with Starlink except they had backorders on the receivers, so I went with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet instead. So, it's not just people in the boondocks that need wire-free Internet.

if you have access to TMobile 5g there's absolutely no reason to get starlink.
