Isn't Starlink supposed to be ok?

If you can get it, I hear starlink ok. When looking into it there was a waitlist/downpayment that was many months out. I also don't trust Musk not to destroy starlink.

We tried HughesNet and it was so bad I happily paid the early termination fee to get rid of their trash.

The DSL connection was a big improvement, even better than a cellular hot spot in the area.
