In Northern California it’s pretty good, especially in rural areas.


Side note: about two years ago I was outside at 5am and looked up. I have property in a remote area and stargazing is excellent. I looked up and saw a satellite moving across the night sky, then another and another and another.  There were 40+ satellites moving like a freight train at 17,000 mph across the sky. Crystal clear. Pretty fucking cool.

Google.  Star link satellite train. It will tell you if and when the satellite train is visible where you live.

In Contra Costa County, in Northern California $109 per month seems to be about average. Keep in mind that in some remote areas, other companies have very marginal coverage.

$109 seems OK. IMO.
