I currently work remotely for my day job and occasionally struggle with 5-8mbps.
I also sell on eBay on the side, with sales north of 100k, so obviously I file taxes on that income. Any reason I wouldn't be able to deduct the full cost here?

You don't know what you're talking about, and it's very obvious.
The schools are just over two miles away, as the crow flies, next to each other and surrounded by hundreds of acres of fields.
I'm closer to town than the schools and the N-S road between us has the fiber.
There is no price the provider will quote me, but I'm sure it would be something absurd like that if they even could.
REMC is talking about a fiber rollout over the next ten years, but my road is not getting it for a few years.
Funny that the REMC fiber eventually available to me will be buried right next to the fiber already going to the school.
It uses over 100watts of power doing what it does. This naturally makes a fair amount of heat as you have noticed, but that's not from any sort of heating element.
Another way to think about this. Plug a laptop in and use it for a few hours, even in very cold temps it will feel warm on the lower half. But it doesn't have any heating elements in it.

Why the FCC data is worthless garbage has been discussed pretty extensively earlier in the thread.
The real # of people without broadband in the US is over 160 million based on real-world data not the FCC zip code junk (multiple sources supporting that figure also provided earlier in this thread with data from Microsoft, PEW research, etc)

They released an update in Dec about it - SpaceX announced it "Deployed basic Snow Melt Mode" to the Dishy McFlatFace Starlink antenna "during which Starlink produces additional heat to mitigate signal attenuation caused by snow build-up on the face of the user terminal."

I'm more worried about obstructions than snow. I live out in the country, but finding a spot fairly close to the house without a bunch of trees is gonna be an issue.
