I have star link and it is No Joke!
$350 from Cabela’s (I used some points to get it a little cheaper) and $85/mo. Haven’t found its limits.

Yeah... hard to beat. We use at work for a cross country mobile network. (California - Wiconsin- Florida- Texas- etc.)
I have borrowed the unit during the offseason for home use... I live in an area with no wired options and not enough cell connectively to consistantly send a text message, phone calls from home are out of the question.
The starlink works 100% everywhere we have tried it- as Bsteele says "Haven't found it's limits" location, speed, etc.
$85 a month is not a real price in my area. more like $120.

I had Starlink at $120/month. It was very good. It would buffer for a few seconds when streaming TV every afternoon/evening about 5-6 pm, but not really an issue. StarLink was fine until I had a flickering power issue that burned up my StarLink provided router. You CANNOT call and talk to a Starlink rep. You must have an active SL account where you go in and "chat" with an AI powered computer about your issue. It is terribly frustrating. They sent me a router that was incompatible with my existing SL system. I never could get it resolved. It was hair-pulling bad.
They had just run fiber optic by my house and offered it to me at a higher speed than my SL was, for $41/month. I cancelled the SL subscription, got fiber optic connected, have perfect service and streaming, and save $79/month. What's not to like?
Unless you can get SL for a lot less $$$$ than I could, I'd stay with Xfinity.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I love mine. It's at my very rural cabin. Based on my location I got the equipment for free and $85 / month for service. Very fast and reliable so far.

We have it, no complaints. Needed to make the switch, didn't realized how many drops that our long time, 'premium' cable service had.

We love it and find it reliable in all but the worst winter storms when we forget to dial up the heat in the dish.
We recently changed our service to 100 Mbps for $55/month.
