That was at a stop light in Ballantyne when I upgraded to 5GUW. They had just installed the 5G (towers) lamp posts.
 
Thread update.

I hopped on the starlink rental deal, $39/mo for 6 mos then $50/mo after that for 100mb service. Figured why not. Got it all hooked up this afternoon. Seems like a super solid upgrade so far. First Pic is from my current brightspeed network. Second is from the starlink.

Did you set it up on your home mesh network? On my Verizon router I used IP pass through mode to setup my mesh network. Looks like Starlink calls it bypass mode. Starlink

Yes. I just plugged it in the back like the tech Neanderthal I am. Im sitting under my barn shelter right now and am hooked up to an eero at half strength, my kids are in the barn streaming something on TV and it just pulled 40mnps.

I read about the pass through mode but haven't dug in to figure it out yet.

It may not give you trouble like you have it setup but if you start having network issues I would setup pass through and not use the wifi from the starlink. If the Starlink and your current network router are using the same IP scheme you will run into routing issues. For example if both routers are using 192.168.1.1-254.

I bypassed it this afternoon. I was looking in the wrong settings menu yesterday.
 
I am looking into Starlink also. How clear does the sky need to be? I have tried using the app, but without climbing on the roof, I cannot get a good idea. Also, have trees all around my house, esp if we are looking towards the horizon.
