Pulled the trigger and ordered Starlink.  They dropped the initial cost from $599 to $299 with a monthly cost of $120.  Once the install is in place and working I can get rid of Dish Network and use whichever streaming service that I decide on.

By my calculations it will be less expensive (after the initial cost) monthly to have good, reliable internet service.  Once I add a streaming service my cost will be around the same amount as my current cost with Verizon hotspot/Dish Network, perhaps a few dollars more.  To have unlimited, reliable high speed internet access is worth it to me for the switch.

Everyone I know who has Starlink loves Starlink.

I'm impatient while waiting for it to show up, but I already used the app to see how well the signal should be.  According to the app it should work just fine.  I also ordered an adapter so that I can use the existing mount for the Dish Network satellite dish already on my house and not have to install a new one.  My only issue is going to be climbing the ladder to remove the Dish satellite dish and install the Starlink dish.  I may end up hiring someone to do it for me. My agility/stability is not what it used to be when I was young and I hate getting up on ladders.
