5G will be around/better than 100 mbps.
ATT, Verizon, and TMobile offer home internet if you in a covered region for this service (not sure if it'll open up to all areas covered by their mobile networks).
Just wondering the limits of this business. Starlink is being explored for stock market IPO. Obviously great for rural and underdeveloped countries, but will 1st world then have to cover the costs? Intriguing way to bringing internet to the globe, but will Starlink make money or is this all altruism?
I would LOVE 5G or even 4G home but they are not offered. I will not do all the "hacks" to try and get true unlimited as I don't need the hassle. Starlink is providing the service. It is here, NOW (for some but more than the cellular home service is) and will be worldwide within a year I believe. Cell phone companies could have done 4G home for YEARS and they didn't due to the amount of money they can charge on mobile devices compared to stationary since they have actual competition in the stationary market.
As far as the IPO. I said it before, maybe in this thread, Starlink will fail if cellular companies open up nationwide home service with unlimited data (TRUE UNLIMITED) at 4G or 5G speeds and Starlink doesn't lower pricing. I think Starlink should be giving the equipment for free in that $100 a month plan and should seriously think about lowering that price quickly once the cell companies push for home users. There are not enough places that do not get cell phone coverage that could pay for all those satellites if everyone jumps to a 5G home service for $50 a month. I would be VERY leery on the IPO (I am no professional what-so-ever so take it or leave it) due to the timing and availability of 4g/5g home.
Is that megabits, or megabytes? I get 30 megabit connection for $15 a month.

You don't know what you're talking about, and it's very obvious.

If you use real data instead of the junk the recent FCC was putting out, something like half of americans don't have real broadband access.
Fastest I can get at my house is 8 Mb DSL, no matter how much I'm willing to pay.
And I only get that without a data cap by paying business rates.
I'd happily pay double what Starlink is asking just to get half the average speed users of starlink in the beta are receiving.
Even that would be 5x faster than what I have now.
If I got average starlink beta speeds it'd be a 10x improvement.
And the targeted final speeds would be a roughly 120x improvement over the best I can get now.

Glad the YAGA (I assume you actually mean YAGI antenna) works for you it does not for me or others I know.
Starlink if it offers a reliable 10+mbps will allow me to get rid of a DSL connection and an LTE connection. It will also allow my kids to see that the large flat box on the wall is capable of more than 320P worth of pixels.
