Respectfully, this correction is wrong on most counts.
Per Musk and the official starlink detail document, it's available for existing and new customers in affected areas.
Starlink on X said they sent ~500 kits as of 10/1, not 2000. Do you have a source for the 2k number?

- falcolas 2y ago> Today's the 8th things change There have been no updated tweets. Seems like something they'd want to keep updated, given they are still tweeting about new countries being added to their service. > I have 1k from the starlink engineer on ground and he said they've sold about the same amount to others. Who? Where? How much congestion do they expect with the influx of so many new users (they're already upcharging/slowing down users due to congestion in the US)? With all due respect, this is frustratingly similar to "Trust me bro". I have no doubt that Starlink - especially their rank and file employees - is trying to help, but we need to keep our expectations realistic on how much they can or will do. Especially with Musk as the helm. Musk lies on X, especially when it comes to who and what has access to Starlink, and doubly when it comes to politicized situations, which I'm sad to say Hurricane Helene is.
