My Rogers home internet wireless service cost $50/mth Canadian for 500 GB of data. I typically use about 100 GB/mth. That currently gives me 13.64 down and .49 up. Ping ms 48 314 399. On top of that, I pay $90/mth CDN for 80 GB of data on my phone. Around my house, I get 3 bars on a 5G network that needs to show 5 bars to get 5G. My phone includes across Canada calling but not cals to the U.S. which would set me back another $20/mth. So currently about $140/mth CDN (equiv $100 USD) for connectivity. That's only carrier charges. I bought my phone outright. The $50/mth includes a Nokia router. Starlink is $250 setup + $140/mth. plus tax so closer to $160/mth, but of course, does not include phone service.
I’ve found that many services and paid apps are more expensive in the USA and Canada than they are here. I mentioned that Starlink was about $90 a month, but what I failed to mention was that about halfway through my three years on Starklunk, they cut the price almost in half—to $47 USD per month. However, price wasn’t my main concern, as you already know...
It felt good logging onto Starblink.com and flipping off the switch!
Thanks Carol... FYI, because the US Govt doesn't trust Huawei, I think they've been blocked from the States. There maybe other options for this type of router, though.

Glad you were able to kick Stablurch to the curb.
Shared on the face place. great reminder, keep watching options.
I found some other options for the USA... https://smarthomereview.org/best-5g-modem-router/
Ours is provided by our fiber company. But, for those needing to provide their own this article seems to be thorough. Thanks.

I'm sure there are alternatives.
