Aside from stocking up on food and feed and doing laundry - I turned in the satellite phone I've had for 12 years (and only used twice - and that was just to make sure it worked). I got it for emergencies because it was a cheap option available for rural communities. The service used to be subsidized and the initial cost was somewhere around $100 and monthly service for 300 minutes was $25. They lost part of their subsidy at the end of last year and monthly service jumped to $80. Also swung by BBT to cancel my DSL and remove auto-pay from my phone bill. (Starlink is still performing well beyond my expectations with speeds averaging 275 Mbs down and 60 Mbs up, and zero noticeable service interruptions). I am expecting to cancel my phone service with them in about a week. More on the cell phone saga soon...
