I work at a rural farm and live in a big city. The farm had satellite which was okay, but they had a hard monthly data cap of 200GB, at which point they would severely throttle speeds. There was no option to pay for a higher cap. During summer time the owners (many) kids would visit and with all their video streaming we would hit the data caps about two and a half weeks in to the month. Then when the owner needed to do a video call for work, due to the throttling, he had to text everyone and ask them to stop using the network for an hour. It was a pretty fragile system. Now we have starlink and it’s a big improvement! Though the short drop outs (under 2 seconds) sometimes cause issues with video calls. At my place in the city I get symmetric gigabit fiber for $39 a month. This is the first time I’ve ever had fiber. It’s pretty wonderful to upload a 10GB 4K video to YouTube in a few minutes, download a full movie while I make some popcorn, and pull down an OS image in seconds. I don’t “need” gigabit but I absolutely am happy to have it!
