"I have bought over 50 StarLinks, with official prices right from the website in EU countries - Poland, CZ, Germany - like 400-500 bucks each, then enable portability for extra IIRC 50$, then payed monthly fee of 60$ (was 120$ before). It’s the same for everyone else in EU" Dimko Zhluktenko, the head of Dzuga’s Paw charity fund, tweeted in his response to the development.
So regular joe donates them for $500 with monthly fee of $60 but $4,500 a month is insanely cheap?
I have a $10,000 toilet seat to sell you.
- deelowe 4y agoRegular joe seems to be donating the typical residential units on residential plans. My understanding is that the military set up is different, especially in terms of support/priority.
- blitzar 4y agoThe 'donated' units are business plans - there is no 'military' tier. Starlink - Latency 20-40 ms Download - 50-200 mbps Upload - 10-20 mbps Starlink Business - Latency 20-40 ms Download - 100-350 mbps Upload - 10-40 mbps
- deelowe 4y agoI didn't say military tier. My understanding is that they are 1) business plans 2) available in areas where business isn't currently offered 3) get prioritization over other orders and 4) have a different support model.
