I'm having a lot of trouble traveling because I can't get a "decent" connection. I must have one for part time work.
Decent means 10mbps . . .
3) How is starlink?
Very good for a stationary location. I've had it for about a year and DL speeds are almost always 100+ Mbps. Starlink has become very stable over time.
However, for mobile use, I don't think it's there yet. Starlink service is not guaranteed in all areas.

4) How is any other satellite internet?
I used a portable HughesNet Gen 5 dish for two years and it was bullet proof.
DL speeds averaged to 10+ Mbps. And service was available as long as you could see the Echostar 19 sat.
However, HughesNet Gen 5 is expensive and
klunky. The equipment you need for a portable system (dish, tripod, modem, etc) costs about $1500. Then you must purchase a
data plan (which you can change every month in you want) which range from 2 GB/mon ($40) to 1 TB/mon ($2000). We opted for the 50 GB/mon data plan for $120/mon.
FYI -- this is
Business HughesNet Gen 5, not Residential. In short, it means you use a bigger sat dish and have more data plan choices AND you can move it around.
