    You don't need to - especially if you're happy with your current provider but 4G mobile internet is like a garden hose trying to blow a water cannon away compared to Starlink. Starlink is in my experience comparable to urban ultrafast fiber and I've had no issues at all with speeds - maybe the odd bit of latency when jumping between satellites but what surprises me is no issues at all with dropping out in thunderstorms or really crappy weather that kills off other satellite comms. In comparison 4G mobile data is crap. Unreliable, shite speeds and drops out regularly in my area.

    And if your cell phone supports "wifi calling" then as long as your phone is connected to starlink wifi and wifi calling enable, then you can have crystal clear phone calls even if your cell service signal is pooze.
