Wireless internet always has tradeoffs, and satellite internet is inherently less reliable than wired internet. Calling 25/3 "broadband" was laughable even in 2015, and since the pandemic created more remote positions (or at least more opportunity to work from home part-time) it's more important than ever to make sure everyone has access to real broadband.
Starlink also costs $110/month (plus a $600 setup fee), which is... decidedly more than the $10/month a low-income household would pay for the Comcast essentials plan. If you're in an area with lots of Starlink users you may see speeds under 10mbps, which is on the border of usable in 2022 even for 1-2 devices.
