    Dare I say, but this could be use case for something like starlink. Of course, also mounting the dish with non-penatrating mount or in ground mount.

      Starlink wouldn’t change anything in terms of cost, if a specific ISP is force-bundled into a lease then it doesn’t matter which alternatives exist. There isn’t a technical solution to this problem, only a legal one.

        I guess, ya if the service is bundled in the lease and non negotiable/declineable sure. But not every apartment complex is like this. Sure, they may limit you to one or two options. But I still think it would be a viable alternative.

        I opted to send back my starlink unit because Bells wireless connection at 40/10 was more stable and had less than 1/2 the jitter

          It’s incredible as long as everything is 100% optimal. Because my co worker’s yard has trees just barely too tall around it his connection drops all the time. Heavy storms also cause issues

          When it works it’s great. But it doesn’t always work. 5g is MUCH more reliable than Starlink.

          Yes, I have Starlink. It’s significantly better than the DSL I had, but I will switch to fiber the instant it becomes available here.
