In cities and suburbs it will often be the case that there is a single cable provider who charges approximately the same as starlink due to being a regional monopoly. At my old place the sole choice was cox who had monopoly on internet
because the only other option was at&t dsl that offered 5mbs download for $60+/month. I was seriously considering starlink.
Two blocks over there was google fiber and at&t fiber but might as well have been 100 miles away for all the good that did me. Actually it would have been better because I wouldn't get adds telling me about fiber only to find it wasn't available.
For me it's incredible that it's like that in the US (I assume you're in the US as you mention "google fiber" and "at&t").
You folks have to change that, decouple who lays cables from who can use them, or at least make companies who lay cables let any provider access them, etc... - look at how some european countries deal with it (at least the ones that have the most happy users - details will probably be important) and do the same => no risks.
(Repeating what I wrote in the past ) I'm in Switzerland living nearby Zurich but using a small regional Internet Provider located 50km away (outside the region I'm living in) and my parents are in a different region in a 800-souls village and use a major national provider, and we both ended up getting FTTH, with similar costs and great reliability - cables in both cases initially layed down spontaneously by companies not directly related to the providers, hoping that we would start using them at some point (I waited for 1 year being scared of complications but my parents switched immediately as their old ADSL connection was extremely unreliable) => this is a practical demonstration that this system works & good for everybody (customers & providers & whoever lays down the cables), therefore no reason not to adopt it.
The US is an (unevenly distributed) hellscape for anyone dependent on government regulation for basic quality of life. Regulators are wholly captured for most industries. Air quality, e.g., is not actually enforced by EPA, if the offender is a big and old chemical factory, particularly if people being gassed might be black.
They don't even need to bribe inspectors; the agency itself just rolls over on its own.
LTE or 5G is going to be much more efficient to provision anywhere that's not rural. Starlink cannot work well at even moderate densities, the "cell" is just too large and would have too many customers in it if it were reasonably popular.
