Disagree. Do you have one? I do. It's an incredible piece of technology.
Yes, I have Starlink. It's significantly better than the DSL I had, but I will switch to fiber the instant it becomes available here.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
It's incredible as long as everything is 100% optimal. Because my co worker's yard has trees just barely too tall around it his connection drops all the time. Heavy storms also cause issues
When it works it's great. But it doesn't always work. 5g is MUCH more reliable than Starlink.
The service is incapable of handling dense urban environments which are more common with apartments.
It's not designed for that
