I've had Starlink for over a year, but I maintain a solid 4G LTE backup connection that I fire up during primetime and on the weekends.

What is your opinion on Starlink compared to the LTE connection? I have pretty good LTE here - but I can also get Starlink. The difference is about $40 a month.

It depends on your tower. I'm "barely rural" I guess you would say. However my LTE tower had plenty of 4g bandwidth, and just got updated to 5g, where I get 5guc at my house. My phone can pull 500mbit from the tower now.

I haven't quite pulled the trigger on buying a 5g modem, but this blows Starlink away currently. I have v1 Starlink, the round dish, and the upgrade path to this these kind of speeds is $$$.

What's unknown to me is how aggressive the LTE carriers will be with throttling / keeping an eye with data caps.
