I have three Starlink systems. Had them for coming up on a couple of years now.
There are occasional quirks here and there, but never a problems. Based on my experience many of my rural neighbors bought SL. Installed it in some horribly obstructed locations and it still worked. Yes I use my for wifi calls.
The only time SL did not work was in Yosemite. But I was camped up to the edge of a granite wall thousands of feet high that blocked the view to the satellites. Not really the fault of SL.
I have SL and it works, and it works a bit better then my other option which is a point to point wireless which I used for over 20 years before SL.
However I am not that impressed with it while it does work it's certainly not the best thing since sliced bread.
My wife is still working and she works from home using a VPN that her employer requires, it will drop out and loss connection several times a day almost every day.
This is obstructed???? what the h?
Not a very impressive speed test either
Maybe the phone company where you are but not around here.My wife worked for the phone company for about 37 years before she retired and my son works for them now. They are 100% fiber now so people that still have “land lines” are really using some form of VOIP rather they know it or not.
Still lots of buried and overhead copper cables in use and being worked on daily because of complaints.
I ended up dropping mine over 10 years ago as it was unusable.
Also no DSL as we are to far out from the "hubs" it only extended almost 3 miles from town.
