My ISP has 1.25 TB monthly limit. So I would blow through it in like 200ms...

EDIT: Fixed GB to TB

Would Starlink be a viable option for you? The tech always interested me but I'm fortunate enough that it'd be a downgrade from my current ISP.

I made a typo, my ISP has 1.25 TB monthly limit, which sucks but it is good enough most of the time. I just reached it for the first time filling my new PS5 with games. Starlink seems like more expensive and worse option. However, I was always dreaming of maybe living in a big RV for some time (probably not happening now with family) or buying a house in the country somewhere in the middle of nowhere and Starlink would be a great option.

That's crazy small. Can you just not download games or watch videos at all?

Like you'd barely be able to surf the internet with that

Yeah. I'm pretty sure my basic, cheapest you can buy phone plan gives me way more than that. And I'd been at risk of going over it at times just using Tumblr for a few hours a week back in the day.
