We are really happy with starlink - much faster and more reliable than Nedernet was. The congestion charge goes both ways, per Ars Technica (link below). There is a $100 discount where they have extra capacity. Sounds like you can get some promotional discounts to offset that charge as well.
People may not like Elan’s style, and no one is required to buy his products. But I’d like to point out that Elon Musk has been donating starlink kits where natural disasters have struck (North Carolina, California). And starlink has been a game changer for access in many remote areas where high speed internet is not available, despite government dollars and mandates to make it so. Appreciate leaving politics out of BB conversations, especially when his track record deploying this product when emergency services are needed is exemplary.
