re: Difference btw Starlink and Rev for residential use.

If you Rev offers you fiber to your home for a cheaper cost, that is what you go with. I will assume reliability with Rev is ok.
Starlink, while awesome, is to meet specific needs. Those notably are lack of broadband internet or the ability to have internet on mobile objects (RV or boat).
Starlink will be an option for residential as prices come down and their bandwidth goes up with more satellites in the sky. Will also increase with their mobile offering getting more mature.

I agree with this. The only possible negative with Starlink that I’ve found is the upload speed. Even though one poster stated a 50mbps upload speed, I have been consistently around 20 for 3 years.

I've been considering adding one of those Starlink roof mounts onto one of our trucks at work. We've been having issues with some some of our software dropping packets on our hotspots when we're out in the field.

Thinking about ditching ATT home internet, but need to look at bandwidth. ATT is like 225 for home bundle
You’re paying for TV.
ATT fiber is like $80/mo.

don’t get Starlink unless you’re okay with druggie Elon knowing everything about you before shipping it all off to Palintir for inclusion in their next batch of data they sell the government (and keep for themselves for Peter Thiel’s purposes)

Im paying 165 for Starlink unlimited for my RV.
It's a must have when you travel to places that don't get cell service.

Speed is excellent, coverage is everywhere.
You'll need clear line-of-sight to set up Sat, takes like 2 minutes.
Getting to the age where we discussing some extended RV trips although we don't own one and have never ridden in one that I recall.

They apparently just made massive changes to their plan tiering and equipment options. Seems like you are risking a bait and switch with Starlink at this point.

Careful, they'll call you a libtard for not supporting the new Big Brother Database that Palantir is setting up.
