50GB? Hah. For modern use that gets used in about one week. Read the fine print - you pay by the GB after you hit your limit. That's why they have unlimited plans the way they do. If you have 4K Ultra HD TV and you're streaming movies, that's about 7-10 GB an hour. Their unlimited plans go well into the hundreds, with their emergency broadband as high as $1000/month.
I also have Bell rural 5 mbps, and it's more reliable than Starlink. In fact, I use it as a baseline for reliability when Starlink can't provide service. In my rural area in the forest.
And I'm not sure why this is such groundbreaking stuff? Satellite TV - and even Internet-based satellite access - has been around forever, is this really that amaze-balls that we have to praise Elon Musk? Teledesic and HughesNet were first to the punch.
Again, big big meh.
