Yeah but if you need Internet failover, cell phone towers are likely flooded. Starlink will be much more available (probably).

This too depends on which POP/ground station you're landing at.
Maybe less so once the majority of starling satellites are capable of laser communications to route your traffic down to a less saturated ground station.
The vast majority of Starlink satellites do have laser interconnect now. They started launching them in 2021 or 2022 I believe.
