It's the same in my province for rural areas. I recall fiber optic lines being run in the mid 1990s but then nothing. Politicians promising just basic Internet connectivity at first then "high speed" (the famous up to) for the last 25 years. Here in south-eastern Canada we were some of the first to be in the Starlink coverage area. From what I hear it's doing well not fantastic but better than up to x speed which always seems to end up being less than 1MBps. Luckily I am in a town with lots of options but still the cost is high $100/month for 350Mbps. Setting aside Musk's abrasive personality, any typical satellite Internet issues, orbital clutter, escalating costs, it's at least something. Internet access is more than just for entertainment these days.
