Has anyone considered StarLink?

Just asking: Has anyone considered using SpaceX's StarLink internet service to use in their RV for Internet/TV (with that and a streaming cable service you'd be golden anywhere in North America)?

https://www.starlink.com/

Speeds around 50Mbps - 150Mpbs and latency around 20ms - 40ms (to start out) doesn't seem so bad and it would work anywhere.

I've been pondering it. Given the price mentioned in the article I would have to replace our home internet with it as well to make it cost effective but when/if we're on the road more I may seriously consider it.

Add in a VOIP phone plan that works over the internet and a streaming service and you would never be out of communication from anyone.
