Could you got into a bit more detail as to what is involved vis a vis a good gaming connection vs simply a fast internet connection??

My wife is pretty much exclusive with a DATA connection (1s and 0s) and Video Streaming..

My 'NET requirements are exclusively downloading videos and gaming...

As I mentioned above, I have not kept up with the technology so I am pretty much at that stage where FAST Internet = AWSOME Gaming, awesome fast downloads and flawless no-buffering video streaming..

But, as you have indicated above, it's a bit more involved than that..

Could you dumb it down for me??

Yea, I hear ya... We're gonna make sure we end our AT&T relationship gracefully w/o any outstanding bill or anything..

That way if Starlink craps out or goes tits up, we at least have a fallback service..

We'll probably have a month or 2 of overlapping service, just to make sure Starlink is going to be good for us..

If you are in a small town area, it's better to stick with AT&T, and ask for fiber. Thing is, I DO live in a small town like Alabama, and there ARE choices, but not very much. A youtuber in Alabama has Google Fiber, but most have either AT&T or Spectrum. AT&T sucks, but if I had a choice, I'd have to choose Spectrum or AT&T. Other cable companies are these lesser known, small companies.

Right now I have Spectrum, because AT&T pissed off family.

Yea, I am not just small town.. I am very rural... Our area has less than then 4,000 people...

We have only had AT&T DSL for about 10 years.. And that's all that's offer'ed beyond Satellite.. Which is about as useful as the old ISDN was..

We're likely not going to see anything beyond low-end DSL for at least a few decades...

That makes sense.
