Fair use policies are fine when it's fair, but 1TB for a household's home internet is not fair in 2022. 2.5TB or 5TB being the threshold would be received much

- indigodaddy 4y ago100% agree. I’d reckon we tear through 1TB in about 10 days.
- argiopetech 4y agoThis is satellite, i.e., internet for people who can't get a physical network connection better than dial-up over copper. Starlink's closest competition is Exede (by Viasat) with monthly data caps on the order of 60GB. If you use 1TB+/mo, you're probably not viewing Starlink as an upgrade from Exede and should opt for something closer to your needs. I'd hazard a guess that people who should be using their local cable provider's solution are the reason Starlink is now imposing this data cap... edit: Exede apparently now offers up to 30mbps and a 100GB/mo cap in my area, their second highest plan. Other points still stand...
- KMnO4 4y agoI currently have satellite with Xplornet and pay $99/mo for a 50gb cap. For the target demographic, 1TB is more than fair.
