Interesting. On the one hand Starlink costs 10x as much for equipment and 10x as much for service as compared to LTE. On the other hand Starlink is 10x faster and half the latency of LTE.
A simple factor of 10 increase in both price and speed is not impressive. I'm gonna say I'm not overwhelmingly convinced until Starlink delivers more for less.
- m463 6y agoYou are not the target market. You probably have LTE, and most likely a number of providers to choose from. To the people who are the target market - these things are of little consequence.

Just did a speed test on an iPhone 11 with Vodafone Ireland's not-very-inspiring LTE, in an urban area. Latency: 21ms, 147/19mbit. This costs 20 euro with a cap, mind you. Capless LTE is also available, but on a generally somewhat worse network.
