African here living under and shit hole government who has no interest in improving the lives of the people. Starlink has been a game changer! An absolute game changer. I do not support Elon Musk but just putting out there that Starlink is helping kids in remote areas with no electricity (they use small solar panel) to access the Internet.

my alternative was dial up or a 10 Mbps flaky wireless ISP. Is that what you're using right now?

In some places.

Starlink is a global phenomenon, good ISPs were at best a local phenomenon.
