December 2026, pushed back twice so far. The places that have service have post-launch prices far exceeding that of Starlink (and launch prices matching Starlink). It's "National" in the sense of being funded by taxpayers, but not in the sense of being operated as a public good. Just the usual operation to funnel tax money to politicians' cousins and friends and set them up for life with a revenue stream.
I can't imagine why you'd need 4k streaming. I can't tell 4k from 1080p on my 65" from my chair, and my phone isn't 4k.
- rsynnott 3y ago> The places that have service have post-launch prices far exceeding that of Starlink … Eh? “ In Ireland, Starlink costs €65 per month with a one-time installation fee of €450.” There are a bunch of providers on NBI, but with the cheaper ones you’re looking at ~45EUR/month for 500Mbit/sec, no installation fee. (In general, unless you’re planning to switch provider every year, you should avoid introductory offers, at least in this country; Eircom’s 75EUR after a first year at 35EUR, say. If you avoid this type of ‘offer’, though, it should be in the 45-55 range.)
