It can't be worse than cmp. I've spent thousands in generators, replacing spoiled food and on gas trying to find an internet connect for my remote work in the past 5 years.

Check out starlink if you haven't yet. I have been using it for close to two years now without any real issues. Fidium is threatening to roll into my area with fiber soon and I may switch because it's "A: cheaper" and "B: slightly lower latency". But overall I have been more than satisfied with my starlink experience, especially compared to the DSL alternative that never once improved over the 20 years that I had it as a service.

Thanks! I have a friend who uses it and really likes it. I didn't even think how it might be useful in this situation.
