I have choices of 2gb fiber from 2 providers,
several 5G providers at 200+mb
a DSL provider at 50mb

I personally use the 500mb fiber from the power coop at $69.95 a month. They offer a 1GB for $99 but I just don not need that speed

We also have ViaSat satellite. There really isn't any need for the Starlink service where I live in rural Arkanstan
