I've been waiting for Starlink since February 2021 when I was invited to participate in the "beta" testing, but due to my location it wasn't a good fit for them.
Latest update says mid-2023 for me now.
In the mean time, plan B is a fiber optic installation that has been going on in my county for many months. Alleged premises wiring is tentatively set for January 20.
I'll still get Starlink for a back up, but I expect the fiber will be the better of the two.
I understand. In my world the redundancy is necessary and in the big picture not all that expensive.
Presently my plan B is hot spotting through my cell phone, which does sort of work most of the time, but isn't as fast or reliable as required; can't talk on the phone and use the browser simultaneously. I'm more than five miles from the nearest cell tower (out in the country) so service is one to two bars at best.

Jesus, a backup internet package?
The name's Fester. It means to rot.
There's a method to my madness, and madness to my method.
I'd mind if I was unnecessarily paying for not 1 but 2 internet packages.

The only diff is that since you can suspend and unsuspend billing on the “rv” system (by name only), it gets deprioritized if network is saturated.
