But keep in mind that US market is unique, as it's extremely overpriced with very poor quality/coverage. Looks like average price in the US is $6.00/GB. Compare this to countries like Israel ($0.02/GB) or Colombia ($0.20/GB). Whenever I travel, I usually have a better coverage and faster connection in a jungle than downtown SF.

Rural America is largely free of interference. Even if you have a weak signal, the tower and your phone can hear each other very clearly. In a downtown, it gets messy.

Are data allowances common in the USA for terrestrial data?
In New Zealand >87% of the population can get 1gb connection for $61 USD with no data cap (and no long term contract, cheaper if you find a deal).
One ISP (or brand) is offering a 10gb connection for $40 USD on a 24 month contract. >1g limited to a a small number of cities as far as I know.
Our mobile internet costs a fortune, costing for example the cheapest non-prepaid plan from the largest telco is $27.50 USD for 4.5gb of data.

Deprioritised starlink is $80 nzd / month which is cheaper than fiber or vdsl and on par with "unlimited" 4G/5G.
Mini is quite good option for boating (campsites usually are well connected here) provided it can cope with swell like bigger dishes do.
Edit: Strange they haven't integrated WiFi HaLow yet since it's primary target is rural customers who would benefit a ton from 1km radius signal...
