My wireless connection 10 km away is across a river. The nearest town to me not crossing a river is nine miles away. That is a little far to run my own fiber.

GP is suggesting that instead of your current pair of antenna (one at your site, one at the ISP), you can hack a pair of starlink dishes. I'm not sure why you'd do that vs off the shelf 60ghz equipment. I guess the 60ghz is not good in bad weather, but at 10Ghz there isn't any problems.

Then the fiber part I didn't understand at all. But I didn't take away he was suggesting you run fiber except maybe from the dish to your MPOE. I could have misunderstood.

Of course this is useless because your ISP isn't going to support it on their end. And GP completely ignored the -40C issue. I think he ignored all context and was only addressing your bandwidth remark.

Lo and behold, the ubiquitu 60Ghz antenna do go down that cold. That might be something your WISP would support, but still weather might be a problem with signal quality.

It feels to me like it would be worth it to not have internet during those extra cold days, if 95+% of the time you have much more bandwidth. Or rig up an external heater -- you only need to get +10C out of it.

I have a similar connection setup to you, but I'm not in cold weather. I run starlink plus my WISP connection. I could reduce it to just starlink if I could get low jitter. Well, not quite. I have to backhaul my cellular signal over the WISP connection. I like how that works vs a booster antenna. I'm not sure if that's going to work well over starlink, jitter or not.
