So I just checked and the hardware for me would be $411.10 for the dish, wall mount, shipping and tax. A lot more reasonable than it used to be. But monthly service would be about $130 including tax which for the speeds they provide isn't a very good deal IMHO. But if you have no other choices it is a godsend.

I know Comcast has applied for Federal funds to run fiber out to our subdivisions but haven't heard if they were awarded or not. If they get green lighted we should have broadband available within the next 2-3 years hopefully and I'll just stick with my current 10-35Mbps rooftop microwave setup until then. But if they get turned down I'll probably bite the bullet and go with Starlink.

Your comment made me wonder if there is a way you could buy Starlink, use it for 2-3 years, and then if fiber comes to your neighborhood, sell the Starlink hardware (at some discount like for $200) and transfer the account to a new person? Or do they not allow transfers?
