Just wanted to chime in on StarLink's internet service offering for rural locations that do not have access to half-decent service otherwise. Our cottage is in such a location; we received our StarLink dish over the holidays and installed it (there is NOTHING to installation, literally plug and play) and are OVERJOYED with the service.
We use to get (via the only internet available, DSL over old telephone lines) 2-4 Mbps on a good day and paid $100/month. We then opted to use Rogers' RocketHub - and while the speeds were good (40-60 Mbps) for $90/month, it did NOT include unlimited data so we were always paying for overages+.
Now we have StarLink with unlimited data for $160/month and just look at the stats (attached screenshots).
