The op showed starlink as a comparison. It was one of several 100Mbit options. Comcast is the only service above the 100Mbit level at 1200Mbit advertised .

100Mbit seems fine? I obviously don't have the full picture for what the OP is doing with their line on a day-to-day basis, but, saying that you're entirely out of options when there is an option that is just slower is a little odd

(I do get that Starlink is also quite expensive if it is not your only serious choice)

Given that they have multi-minute outages multiple times per day and they're still not switching to one of the 100mbps options, I think it's a safe assumption that they really do need that speed more than the reliability

I'm a heavy user myself and would be perfectly pleased with a symmetric 100/100 connection, but would even rather make due with 20/20 if that meant no regular outages, so I would agree with you but OP's needs seem specific
