Or 4g/5g. I bought a place way out in the boonies and I’m getting 70 down with a 4x4 MIMO antenna, no data cap. Without the antenna it would be <5 down.

Neither starlink nor most terrestrial telco offer real internet service. I don't really care about speed. I care about participating in the internet and consistent latency. Some rare terrestrial telcos will offer ipv4 addresses and so use of ports for a much higher fee but it is the general rule that most don't. Consistent latency is impossible to achieve with wireless' random round trip time and tcp back-off.
They're fine services for consuming media but they aren't very good ISPs.
