This service is for THOSE type of people, for them it could be a steal.
For almost anyone who can get land or wireless internet, it doesn't make sense. And it was never meant too, the capacity of these satellites is not all that much bandwidth, they physically cant support signing up a lot of people in urban area. This is for the maybe 5% of America with no good options. And they'll pay more. Launching thousands of satellites isn't cheap I'd assume.

There are gray-area ATT iPad unlimited plans for 20 a month, and tons of other shenanigans, but thats a whole nother ball of wax with a learning curve to navigate. If you're interested I suggest you get ta googling and facebooking. There's a FB group called LTE hacks with info, but again it can be a pretty steep learning curve.
For Verizon a big one people do is visible, which I believe is unlimited but capped at 5 mbps after a certain amount of data. But 5 mbps is a lot better than nothing.

Right now my parents pay nearly the same price for 12/1 dsl and most of the time get half that with huge latency spikes. 5mbps isn't good enough to stream anything. I signed up for starlink at their address and it can't come soon enough.
it seems to be rolling out everywhere. i was able to try it recently. it seemed decent. i really like how you dont have to deal with janky routers and coax cable mess. OTOH the service can be a little hitchy and for me was 60-90 mbps, vs my cableco 400 mbps and you can get 1gb.
overall since my cable company are crooks and screwed me again (they lowered my bill from ~100+ to 49.50 to undercut Tmo, told me that was for 12 months, but this month literally the 2nd month back silently already increased my bill to $60), i'm probably gonna be back with tmo soon enough!
