I just signed up for 300Mbps fiber at $40 month. Could get 1.2Gbps for $65
Starlink

Cool. Two different solutions for two different needs.

Wow… not seeing these kind of deals unless tied to a low income program…

My Frontier fiber continues to work fine (500M/500M) and costs only $45/mo. I am just a few miles from town, but it has been a long battle to get decent internet up here in the mountains. Plus the VZ acquisition of FTR so far seems to be a good thing.

They literally circled my house putting up fiber. On telephone poles along the front and 1 side, then behind me on electric poles than meet where it’s on the telephone poles down from my neighbor. They put a big box with equipment on my neighbor.
They had other options, like up to 8 Gbps.

They had lots of speed / price options. I’ll run both for awhile, then decide what to do with Starlink

Personally, if you need the internet connection, e.g. work from home or emergency calling, I'd keep Starlink or something on hot standby. I think fiber is great, but based on long experience with fiber, it does seem to attract accidents and interruptions, resulting in outages. YMMV.
All the best, Peter
