  Recently talked my MIL into switching to T-Mobile home Internet instead of StarLink. I even volunteered to mount an external cell antenna on her roof if the signal wasn’t good enough.

  Elmo and his shitty satellite company can kiss my ass.

    Doesn’t t-mobile use starlink now?

      They do offer their T-Satellite service which uses Starlink. It only works with supported mobile devices (not home Internet) and is additional to your regular plan.

      T-Mobile is honestly one of the easiest cell operators to deal with in my experience. I would take them over AT&T any day.

        Gotcha, I appreciate the clarification.
