Are these households in rural areas without many alternatives?
Starlink is available in the vast majority of the US. What is the cost difference though?
edit: i dont like elon musk or starlink
Starlink actually sucks fat dick unless it's literally your only option.
Even in rural America, you still have access to Visible's unlimited data for $25/month. They use Verizon's network, which covers just about everywhere people live in the US.
I didn't realize Visible has unlimited hotspotting. ATT/TMO block/paywall that, though it's possible to bypass using custom ROMs or non carrier firmware in some cases
