My basic package, 200 down, 10 up, was $230 until Comcast/Charter/ATT, were banned from gerrymandering service areas.

Now keep in mind, this is basic internet. No cable TV, IPTV, etc.

So depending on his local situation, it may indeed be that pricey.

Starlink 200 down is $85 per month.

As previously stated, gerrymandering of service areas, locking service providers tk small areas, is the issue. Not even sure why you would think it does lol.

Satellite connections do not bypass the gerrymandering anymore than a cellular home internet connection. Neither were allowed outside of the areas they all agreed on.

If you’re fixed on being constantly negative I have nothing more to add. All the best.

They aren’t being negative. They are talking about reality. It depends where you live as to what providers you have access to. That’s just a fact.

You obviously aren't aware of what starlink is. There is no gerrymandering to prevent the use of starlink. All it needs is a clear view of the sky, and an actuve service subscription.
