Its actually the main thing holding me back. The power consumption alone is as expensive as the cheapest fiber connection I can get.

Why would you ever even consider Starlink if you have fiber availability?

Because here despite the finer, they still dare to sell 50, 100mbit connexions, 1Gbit max. I would like to liberate myself from this local oligarchy.

that is very confusing still, can you elaborate?

Unlike is some other countries where I've lived, where fibre is basically sold as whatever the line will carry (5,8 GB for instance), here providers still work under the assumption 1 Gbit is the fastest they'll ever have to provide (for a significant sum) and have a highly segmented lineup with speeds sometimes down to less then 50mbit, just to make people pay exorbitantly more (we have the most expensive internet in all of Europe). Three parties control the entire market and it is making them good money.

Starlink could be a way out of this market, but alas is not yet (well, they're actually price competitive, if you exclude the cost of Dishy and the power consumption).

Yeah it's about half my baseline house power draw. And I'm a nerd with several 24/7 servers so it would be higher than someone who doesn't.

By baseline I mean nobody home, lights and appliances off but internet, WiFi, IoT stuff etc all running.

Wow, usually the refrigerator dominates.

Oh yeah I've taken this with the fridge not currently cooling.

However my fridge is less than 50W.. I don't have a huge one like they do in the states (we call those "American refridgerators" here and they're a luxury). It's on about one third of the time (half the time in summer) so it adds about 25W of baseline load.

I actually find it a bit too much. I'd be happier if I could bring it down to 100W. But it's hard to do so. All those little wall warts add up and I just love my home automation. I have 5 1gbit switches alone (8-ports), 3 WiFi APs and then of course all the smart gizmos.
