I've been on the edge of buying Starlink, but am currently waiting on a few other things to pan out:
* I often have to drive through rural roads with my family. Cell service is limited/spotty here. Starlink would allow me to work on the road (and have an emergency backup).
* My wife and I have been eyeing the possibility of purchasing a small plot of land to "get away to" occasionally. Starlink would enable me to work from that plot of land.
- jacquesm 5y agoA plot of land to 'get away to' is a great thing to have if you are getting away to it frequently enough to stop it from turning into a jungle. Abandoned land turns into proto forest with amazing speed, and any dwelling on there will be eaten up in record time. If you are serious about this please budget for a local caretaker.

Maybe once a decade a few hours are spent pruning trees which encroach on the view or clearing brush for fire safety. Hell, there are miners cabins built in the 1800s that are still habitable without any dedicated caretaking
