I can't imagine using 5g as our only internet. We've got Verizon 5g with a repeater (or whatever it's called) literally one house away, and we still get spotty data (sometimes nothing). If that's the best you can get, I guess it's an option, but...

"$60/month"
Plus the FCC Random Tax of $5.99/mo
And the Spanish American War Repayment Tax of $3.99
And the Because We Can Tax of $5.99
And the "If we say it's from the government, they won't question it" tax of $4.49.
And the "Let's see how stupid the customers really are" assessment of $9.99.
So, yeah, totally "$60/mo"... which will cost you $90.45 when you actually pay the bill.
Say what you will about the cost of Starlink... They told me it was $99/mo, and I pay $99/mo, unlike the cable company that I dumped.
"Big Cable" can eat the peanuts out of my $#!^...

One needs to submit their cellphone number 'to determine their eligibility'.
So this may be a new customers only deal, and that free 250MB a month is a non-starter.
Maybe.

my $40/month FiOS 200 down/200 up, 8 ms AND $40/month Comcast 200 down/5 up.9 ms have competition?

I've had to live with only 4g/LTE for awhile last year, was usable for Zoom video calls even though I was at about 5Mbps using my iPhone for a hotspot.
I am sure 10Mbps with low latency would also be fine for a 2 professional household.

I'm not so sure about 10Mbps being enough, but I am sure the reliability is not even close. I'm connected to a virtual machine all day, taking calls, etc, and I can't get disconnected. My wife teaches classes on zoom, and disconnections are scary to say the least. Maybe some places have cell service reliable enough, but definitely not here. In fact, we have to go ethernet in the house, as wifi is noticeably less reliable.
