If you can get 80/20 ADSL, you're not buying Starlink.

Some people underestimate how much hate we can have for our legacy ISPs.

I’d be happy to pay a premium to never give them another dollar ever again.

Everyone hates their ISP.

What are your current expectations around price and bandwidth as the Starlink service becomes more popular in your area?

If you have the opportunity to have a fibre or copper connection directly to your unit, it seems like a crazy decision to consider Starlink.

Not really, I loved a local new independent provider that strung its own fibre around, but moved out of that building :(

They were particularly great because they didn’t (at the time) do phone or tv, just pure solid internet. No legacy industry to protect by limiting torrents or gb/month limits (fuck you Bell Canada).
