y’s wish list

Are there any areas where starlink or similar services are not available or always better?

Copper lines for analog phone are almost useless for current internet communication, as they are far too slow to even handle basic websites.

Even slow DSL nowadays goes in that category.

Depends on actual needs. For some customers cost per time is more important than cost per bit.

The rules changes are primarily about voice telephone services. They allow an incumbent local exchange carrier to discontinue standalone telephone service under many more circumstances. One change is that they may now choose to offer telephone service only as part of a bundle, so if you want dial tone, you have to buy their broadband Internet service. If you're a senior who doesn't or can't use a computer, for instance, or a lower-income person who can't afford the bundle, then you will lose you dial tone service. Don't forget that mobile phone service is not uniformly available in the US
