Wow 120 dollars a month is a pretty hefty price. Didn't know that's what the cost was
You'll be even more to shocked that it's often a multi-month wait and you need to pay $600 for the Satellite dish. Not including install, or mounting hardware.
That said - it's the best option that a lot of people have ever had. They often can use no internet, old-school satellites which is basically 56kbps, and Starlink.
That's literally the exact same amount I'm paying Comcast in suburbia. The speed it a little bit better most of the time but it's not like I can make full use of it.
If you think that price is insane, go check out the price for legacy satellite internet and the speeds/data cap they provide for it.
And that's why someone invented the phrase, "ignorance is bliss."
You sound like a brain-worm infected Trump supporter with these comments.
