My coworkers mom lives in the same general area and has been using Starlink for a while now without issue. She gets around 300Mbps.

I considered it, but it isn't good for online gaming and then there is...Musk. Had to pass.

~20ms ping times are perfectly fine for gaming. Admit it, it's just Musk.

Should that not be enough? There is also the equipment costs and personally my gaming days are waning anyway. When I visit someone with Starkink and use it, it seems very frequently laggy. Bursts seemed common.

I use scheduling/throttling to accommodate this meager link speed. I was on dial-up well into the early 2000's, so I am no stranger to suffering slow links where patience is key.
