The fiber will be faster than cable but don't believe the 'speed hype' when you sign up for a plan.

I once had $40/mo 5mbs DSL for a long time until MaBell pulled all their phone wires.
Downloaded MSFS2020 (took a week) and got photogrammetry. but not the best versions.
Also did FPS with it. As low as 60 ping with some international servers. Big files were definitely slow.

Now my AT&T fiber is $65/mo. Something over 200mbs with speedtest. Honestly it's great but I don't notice a huge difference usually.

A $250/mo Comcast budget should get you whatever you need. (them is some expensive electrons...that add up over time)
Might even bargain them down.
A line out front is an easy run to the house

Starlink is $55-130/mo. Not sure about the phone and tv part. Dish and T-Mobile also have sat dishes.
