Now COVID is over I was planning to slowly travel to a few different countries around Europe this summer, and work while I'm there. Internet in certain countries (cough Italy cough) is spotty at best, even when you are in big cities, so having a LTE backup is usually a wise choice. Although the EU now has 'no roaming charges' there are no providers that let you freely roam to other countries and use your plan exactly as you would at home without restrictions. At home I can get a plan with unlimited calls, texts and data for 15€/mo, but I can only use 10GB of data in other EU countries. After that I need to pay 3€/GB - which will get expensive quickly with the number of Zoom calls I need to be on. Buying a prepay local SIM is often still a smart choice, but in some countries that's difficult (to actually get the SIM) and prepay plans don't always have unlimited data options. If you need to travel a lot between countries where that's the case, or just want less hassle, the price of Starlink starts to seem a lot more affordable.
