Can we get a $50/mo Starlink Budget?
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThere will definitely eventually be cheaper options. But not for a while and likely not in America. The satellites are unused over Africa etc, and they can't pay $100 per month. But until the manufacturing cost of the dishes comes down, a cheaper option is unlikely.
- shaklee3 5y agoI don't agree with that. the likelihood of them reducing the cost of the antenna to what it needs to be in Africa is close to 0. even legacy satellite providers, with terminals that are 1/5 the cost cannot do it. and those aren't phased array
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThe legacy providers can't provide slower internet for less money because their slowest package is already unusable.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agoand so is their fastest package
- shaklee3 5y agoThat's exactly my point. they are the exact same speeds, which is not what OP said.
- shaklee3 5y agotheir fastest package is 100Mbps, which is the same as starlink for most people. I'm not sure where you're getting your information.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoDid I say anything about their fastest package?
- shaklee3 5y agoso, when you compare to cable do you also say 25-50Mbps speeds? because that's the minimum cable speed I'm my area. But 1Gb is the max. since when has comparing minimum speeds ever been a valid comparison?
