If you have good wired internet then Starlink isn't meant for you. It doesn't have bandwidth for densely populated areas either.

But if you're out in the boonies then it might be your best bet.. The son of a friend of mine lives well west of Calgary and it is more money than the best alternative but it is far, far, f a r better. He's been on it about a year now.

He's on some beautiful acerage a bit more than half way to Banff. I haven't been there but I've seen lots of pictures. With the commute into Calgary he's really making good use of his model Y.
