Starlink “Best Effort” Service

Wanting some advice/input from some Starlink users.
Have a vacation property in the Western NC mountains. No fiber internet available and unreliable cell service.
Currently have ViaSat. Paying $225/month for 30mbps top end speed with 100 gig data cap. (Rip off, but the only option). I’d like to work remotely from this property but it’s just too slow to remote into my workstation and make calls and work from a VOIP.
I’ve been signed up for Starlink for 18 months now and keep having delivery pushed back. I just checked and I’m still more than a year out. I was offered “best effort” service- essentially saying that I’d be deprioritized but could still get on the network and have speeds reduced at peak times. Is anyone else using this “best effort” service and how has it worked for you?
Wondering if I should just stick with Viasat until the full version comes out.
