Any ideas why this is $500/mo?
- animal_spirits 5y agoIt costs a lot of money to send satellites to space
- BLanen 5y agoBecause it's closer to the actual cost and not subsidised as much.
- notatoad 5y agothey allow business use on this, while the regular one is for residential/personal use only. regardless of the increased bandwidth, if a business truly needs starlink they're going to be able to pay $500/mo for it.
- fastball 5y agoSeems like they just scaled the price linearly. Starlink originally promised as ~100Mbps for $100/mo. This is up to 500Mbps for $500/mo.
- linsomniac 5y agoMy gigabit symmetric fiber at home is $70/mo. The same service from the same provider costs $400/mo at our office. The answer to your question seems to be "because business".
- Handytinge 5y agoDifferent locations have different costs of delivery, and business services also generally have different SLA and contention rules.
