I’ve been thinking of switching over to STARLINK given all the craziness going on and the fact that I believe it may be a way to get around the coming communication breakdown we’ve been expecting. Anyone have any experience using it or insight on privacy and reliability?

Hughesnet isnt real internet. Unless you're from the 1990s.
Extremely rural people don't have much of a choice in many cases.
The home where I grew up in Michigan still doesn't have access to cable or fiber internet.
Same where I live and last time I asked when broadband would be available here, I was told, "Never."
They do now thanks to Starlink.
Starlink is very good satellite internet, but it's not cable or fiber.
The only satellite internet available in the past, such as Hughesnet, was atrocious.
The main difference between Starlink and the rest is the upload speed and the latency.
50ms as opposed to 450-700ms is an amazing upgrade.
Well cable and fiber might not ever be available in certain parts of the country
