I had it for a while. Much, much better than local radio tower services. No contest, except for price.
Then they laid Frontier fiber, which is clearly better than Starlink and much cheaper.

My daughter has Starlink at her house at 9,900 feet altitude in the middle of nowhere Colorado and it has functioned without any problems. Just got back today from there and had zero issues.

I’ve been using it for a year and a half.
Zero complaints.
It’s rare today when something actually exceeds expectations. It has.
I suffered with Hughesnet for years. That’s a pathetic system with the worst service I’ve ever dealt with.
Install on the starlink was stupid easy. Mounted it up, turned it on and it did the rest. Had the whole tribe in a few weeks ago, three TVs streaming, two computers and four phones, it never missed a beat.
I tried Hughesnet. Great to start, then they throttle your service. That was years ago.

I had an old Ham mount that was 75+ feet tall, but unfortunately gave it away to the scap metal guy. I bet you could find something on Craigslist.
