Starling reliability is usually the "it goes down for a few minutes" type of failures, vs the "it's down for the day" you get (more rarely) with wired.

I'm semi-rural and I still get 2-4 times a year where my cable drops out, which I suspect is due to moisture in the lines as it seems to usually happen during spring thaws.

They're bringing in fiber at some point soon.

I've definitely seen Starlink go down for a few hours at my brother's place a couple times when I've been up there. At home, I've had longer outages with Comcast but usually it's more like going briefly in and out over the course of the day. It's better than it was and it's pretty much good enough as far as I'm concerned.
