What would you recommend Jacob Calderwood, of Utqiaġvik, Alaska, use? He wrote a letter to the FCC, asking the FCC to approve the modification to Starlink that would allow it use lower orbits.
You can find his letter on the FCC licensing page, here:

One thing he points out is that while he has broadband, something meeting the minimal definition costs $500 a month.
A nice thing about Starlink is that it will be able to cover the US and the rest of the world, and provide an upper limit to the price of broadband. And it's timeframe is not that far off - they will have about 6,000 satellites deployed in 2024, and all 12,000 deployed by 2027.
