I spent a full month testing the Gen 4 Starlink against my 5G Home Internet setup (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T) to see if paying $140/month is actually worth it compared to a $50/month cellular plan. In this video, I break down the real-world performance differences, including download and upload speeds, the Starlink App stats, and a deep dive into loaded latency/bufferbloat using LibreQoS. If you game, make video calls, or work from home in rural areas, loaded ping matters way more than raw download speed—and the results surprised me!
