It’s unreliable with cloud coverage, adds latency, and may not match bandwidth with good offerings (for example my uncapped 1GBPS symmetric fiber for $60/mo thru Sonic). It also is run by Musk which can be a turnoff for many.

I'm using Starlink in Nebraska. It is reliable with cloud coverage. I have only lost connectivity for 5-10 minutes during the fiercest part of the worst thunderstorms.
