I had used flip as an isp for close to 2 years, which although had decent speed, I didnt have a lot of issues with the connectivity in my other rooms in the far end of the house. However, i switched to belong recently and although it has atleast 2x speed close to the router, the connection has become much worse in the farther rooms (not even sure how that is possible). As such, I am considering options on how to somehow move my setup towards the middle of the house without moving the whole causing wire clutter (I live in a rental). A suggestion that i recently got was to get starlink, as the price seems reasonable right now, with $75 for 100 mbps and not much hardware and installation charges. I have tried using a signal booster but it has not worked at all (I got a plug in one from d-link, which increased the connection range but the internet remained crap). Is there a way to resolve my issue or is it time for me to move to starlink?\n\nAnother reason why I was considering to switch is because the deal in starlink seems to be consistent in pricing, whereas all other isps charge low for the first 6 months and then shoot up the prices, something which I hate a lot.",
