Starlink is the disposable plastic of internet though. they are constantly losing satalites due to that low earth orbit, which are constantly being replaced.

also being owned by a raging right wing fucktard that turns them off and on to suit his political whims does nothing to endear me to the service

The former is more of a technical one. LEO has (some) air drag, so anything there is temporary; and you need them in LEO to not have pings measured in seconds. But, as you stated, the CEO is......fucktarded. I'll fully agree there!

But, more importantly, that's why I also mentioned cell networks. In the US, TMobile and Verizon home cell internet is competitive in quite a good percent of the country and worth looking into if you don't like your current provider. TMobile's is $50/mo, for example.
