I love how so many companies offer work-from-home now as you can literally work from anywhere in the world as long as it's only in a major city with a high bandwidth connection.


Check out this map, which doesn't seem to include starlink. Click "min price" (to make the 25+ MBPS filter appear), then click "25+ MBPS". You'll see that rural houses are likely to have access to better Internet than ones in Silicon Valley.

To really light the map up, click "fixed wireless". I've had mixed luck with such ISPs, but they generally offer affordable plans that have better uplink bandwidth and ping latency than comcast.

That is really not true. For most people modest speed connections are fine for working. Starlink certainly be sufficient in general.


Who needs a >1Gps bandwidth for work from home? I worked from home using a 4G SIM.
