Seems like you can pick two (and only two) from the following menu:
A: Cheap
B: Reliable
C: Fast

I use Starlink for my house. It is not perfect. My television doesn't particularly like it, and my TV providers get to thinking I live in LA where the uplink is. But it is reliable and fast.

Then, of course, comes the issue of trust for Elon and Starlink. My dealings with Starlink have been almost universally good and it's now been two years. Might that be a possibility for your satellite locations?

In this part of the world Starlink has brought internet to places that simply are too remote to have any other service. The Navajo Nation in particular.

I don't know if Starlink allows you to keep traffic on the same network. With the transport service or self provisioned fiber my network is basically flat. My desktops 14 minutes away can authenticate to the active directory server at my main campus. All without leaving my private network which I don't think would be possible with Starlink. I like the idea of Starlink though. I knew someone who was using Hughesnet back in the day and it was horrible!
