I think Starlink [Gen 2] offers something more valuable than a fat pipe. Potentially, two hops to anywhere.
I've kept my eye on it. The clincher would be portability. Problem is, latency isn't good yet, price is at the top I've ever paid, and speed is acceptable.

I measured 10ms latency, 327 Mbps down, 11.3 Mbps up on my more "expensive" pricing plan today. I'm not hitting 400 Mbps down because I'm using a DOCSIS 3.0 modem and need 3.1 to get the last bit(s). I'm watching some Ebay auctions to get a new modem, but don't care that much about the additional bandwidth. The scenarios where I'm waiting because of limited download bandwidth are rare. What I could use, and would gladly trade download bandwidth for is upload speed. If I'm going to offer content to people, I want them to have a good experience.
