Do you know if the issue of congestion is bandwidth, or if its bound by satellite to ground connections?
If its the latter, have you tried finding a neighbor or two and paying $60 each or $40 each?

I'm also at about 80% of the usage cap.
You likely could save money by sharing your Starlink with a neighbor and neither of you would have much noticeable impact to bandwidth. Your latency might get slightly worse because of possible “noisy neighbor” but gotta ask if that latency is worth the extra $.
In the worst case, because of buffering, your Netflix video might take an extra 10 seconds to start and then you'd notice no interruptions (unless you're skipping back and forth). But even that worst case would be unlikely to really be an issue.
For example, are you ever interrupted by someone else in your household turning on another TV? It would be similar.
You wouldn't want to share with your neighbor if they are actively abusing this with torrents or some other constant high bandwidth activity, but ideally you'd pick a neighbor you already know well and can trust.
You're probably right though.
