As in anybody investigated starlink for residential service? Trying to find the best possible internet for property I purchased just outside the city limits of CS.

There are quite a few threads on SL that are worth reading. I'd go Brazos Wifi if you're in their service area. They offer fiber in the rural areas surrounding CS and have good wireless too. https://brazoswifi.com/

You're going to have quite a wait for full residential Starlink and would be stuck on RV service to get it right now. RV service is the deprioritized bandwidth other customers didn't use. It can really be slow if you're in a congested area.

Just go on and get on the list with StarLink. You lose nothing if you decide later not to go with them.

Most of the Wellborn/ south of CS area is covered by CEO Wireless if I understand correctly. You want their most expensive/ fastest option. It's true that Brazos WiFi is better if you can get it. Superior customer service.

But yeah StarLink is the way to go for rural.

What part of "outside of city limits" are you in? The rural broadband state around B/CS has greatly improved over the past several years. We live out in the Carlos area and had Brazos Wifi for >4 years and they run a great service that is super reliable and plenty fast. It was honestly always snappier and more consistent than Suddenlink ever thought about being in town. We live in an area served by Mid South Electric Co-Op and they've covered their entire footprint in fiber, so we have that as our primary and kept Brazos Wifi as a backup.

You can see Brazos Wifi's coverage area on their website. They do need line of sight to their towers, so if you have trees immediately around your house, a tower might be needed. That will be true for CEO as well. https://brazoswifi.com/wireless-internet/wireless-coverage-area/

There are some areas around town that are essentially impossible to reach effectively with their wireless service (Brazos Wifi or CEO) because of trees. However, both of those companies have been installing their own rural fiber services and they typically cover the areas they can't serve with wireless first. I'd check with both to see what their offerings are in your particular location.

There is also a third fixed wireless provider in some of the western parts of the area called NextLink. They are a VERY large fixed wireless provider that started in upper central Texas (think Stephenville) but have quickly expanded to cover a huge area of northern and central Texas. Though they aren't a "local" company (they are still Texas based), they are known to run a pretty reliable and reasonably priced service. If Brazos Wifi and CEO Wireless don't have offerings for you, they are worth a call.

After those options, you are down to Starlink, Verizon Home Internet, and T-Mobile Home Internet. If you have an unobstructed view of the sky, particularly to the North, Starlink is worth a check. You can download their app and do a scan of the sky to see if you have any obstructions. Like the fixed wireless services, you might have to get the Starlink dish either on the top of your roof or on a short tower. Any obstructions are going to cause several small micro disconnects through the day that can cause frustrations with video calls and business VPN connections.

After Starlink, your options are down to Verizon and T-Mobile Home Internet. Lots of folks have had good luck with T-Mobile home internet, but that's going to boil down to what coverage you have in your location for both of those. The Verizon Home Internet still has a data cap, but it's reasonable. T-Mobile is "unlimited" within realistic use and has proven to be a solid alternative when other options are unavailable.

Finally, stay away from Hughes Net, Viasat, or any DSL services (Centurylink, Windstream, etc). You are better off with T-Mobile than traditional satellite or DSL.
