I'm paying more than that for something about 1% of its estimated 100 Mbps speed. If I was allowed to use it in my condo building, it would change my life for the better. Also, it's smaller so it is easier for people to hide it on their property so a city or association isn't as likely to catch you using it. Being small enough to hide in a pot for a plant. That's important when you live in an urban area.

I'm paying almost $85 a month for DSL that is usually a half a megabit per second or less. In the middle of the night, it will sometimes hit a full megabit per second. This is near downtown Seattle. I'd kill to pay only $30 a month for 100 Mbps with Starlink. I just don't have a good enough view of the sky to make it work. My neighbor two floors above me has it working great, but he is head of the condo board so he was allowed to put the dish on a ten foot pole sticking out of his balcony so the dish can see the sky. I can't do that.

You are wrong. A lot of people in urban areas that can't get fast access would love something small that they could hide to keep their landlord from getting angry with them and hulk smashing their equipment.
