I have Starlink here in Ecuador and am very happy with it. But here it is only $45 a month and $120 there.

What are folks's thoughts on this? for the atrocious  choices of conned-cast or...nothing? or are there finally ISP's that aren't DSL here?-- How is it? what's it really like? are they anygood? the speed is still god awful at a pathetic 25mgs. but so is Comcast. Appallingly enough. We get snow storms and stuff, is it a blackout then?
Asking because Comcast is going. From sometime early this morning to about 20 minutes ago being out. Being legendarily terrible and no one has had the korvnka's the slap them with a RICO anti-trust suit yet. God only knows why.
So looking starlink and open to other options:
they have to real propper internet, at least 200mbs each way and white-glove levels of service.
CC owen as well. I suspect we've both had enough.
