Yes, I've noticed that too. Absolutely nobody seems to care about any of the dangers related to this technology and now Starlink is looking into using lazer beams to Earth. I guess having the technology trumps any dangers involved and nobody wants to know.
My internet setup is with 4G , i buyed 250FT ( about 76 meter ) direct burial ethernet cable which now is in-ground . The 4G antenna is in mast about 8-9 meter high . Usually have 80-90 mbps download speed . The 4G antenna is about 65 meter from house ...this way i wont the get the radiation , which would be very high if had the antenna in house. The distance to cell tower is about 4.9 kilometers .....runs good / cant complain .
Just to give an alternative .....ol 4G can still work . I dont have 5G here , it would give even greater speed i think , thought 5G is also more radiation, so i prefer 4G more .
I do not know can you use long CAT6 ethernet with starlink . If can , you could set the starling antenna up to 100 meter from house , maybe even longer ....to maybe find spot where trees wont block the starlink antenna . But it have to be outdoor direct burial CAT5/6 cable to survive weather .
