How have they killed the competition when none has existed yet? Internet megaconstellations aren't even 5 years old as a technology accessible to consumers, Starlink is the first mover in the space and the infrastructure isn't even complete yet. You also mention SpaceX, but they revived competition in the industry and still maintain the lowest cost and highest capability in the industry despite having a massive tech lead.
The pricing increases have been stated as being to keep up with inflation and considering that inflation is currently at ~8.5%, a price increase of ~10% makes sense.
