I don't believe this. A city full of startups can't be stuck w/ maximum 3Mbps Internet. Can it?

  The city has much better options in some areas, but not in his street. It's in North Carolina, US, he lives closish to the UNC campus (if UNC has several campuses, then close to the one that was on the internet 40+ years ago).

    Getting internet early is often a curse since companies priorities build outs where they have no coverage at all. That being said, 3 MB/s should get you very high on the 'to upgrade ' list...

    No 5G home internet available? In most cases it’s a better alternative to StarLink if you have good coverage. Also surprised there’s no Spectrum cable, I thought they were available almost everywhere in the Triangle (assuming you mean UNC Chapel Hill).

  Not the full city, just that particular part of the street where gp's friend happens to live. Crazy to use satellites where a last mile of fiber would do the job, or terrestrial beam link, or just a well-placed cell tower, but markets can be weird in edge cases.
