Yes if: you live in rural Canada, off-grid, in a cottage, in an RV, on a farm, or in a city neighbourhood with no fibre access. Starlink delivers 100-250 Mbps anywhere a dish can see the sky.

No if: you live in a Canadian city with affordable fibre access (Bell Fibe, Telus PureFibre, Rogers Ignite, Videotron Helix in QC). Fibre is faster, lower latency, and cheaper per Mbps. See our full comparison.
