I tried Starlink, had high hopes, but unfortunately due to living sort of in a valley and being surrounded by numerous 100+ foot trees, service would cut out every 10-15 minutes. Wasn’t viable for video conferencing or large downloads.

Cellular was OK, but the speeds could vary wildly and really only peaked at maybe 100/30.

Ultimately, I ended up paying a local provider to bury a line directly to my house for me (well into the 5 figure cost). Worth it.
