Won't Starlink and other LEO configurations be that backstop sooner rather than later? I don't know if they have caps as well, but even if they do they could compete with their caps.
Maybe. I really haven't paid any attention to Starlink, although there are credible reports of folk testing it here in South Africa's urban centres.
I have not heard of any mention of Starlink having caps as part of their service. Having said that, for services like this, things change as the number of customers using them rises.
I've toyed with getting it which I think I can do here in rural California especially given that my ISP installed fiber and inexplicably didn't change the rate plans from DSL (given that it's an older population here, I doubt that any new over subscription would be much problem). But the fact of the matter is that we don't seem to ever be in the situation that our 25Mbs service is an actual problem. Mike
