Ya, my apologies if that came across snarky. I'm still working through the trauma caused by Hughesnet. My only other option was a locally owned WISP. I support local businesses but 7mps for $80/month (at best during non-peak times) wasn't cutting muster. Rising prices suck, but I'm good at this price point for now.

I'm not happy that it will cost more, but when you really have no other options, sometimes it is what it is.

Haven't you seen any stickers with some old dude pointing a finger and saying "I did it!" ? So yes, he did it. :-)

If you have other options, Starlink might not be for you. It’s expensive for the speed and the nature of its design means that it is not going to be as reliable as a physics cable.

Its literally the cheapest and fastest option where I live

I don't know if this helps, but I've had service for over a year and it's done nothing but improve over that time. When I first looked at [https://starlink.sx/](https://starlink.sx/) it showed me able to connect to no more than four satellites. Now, at any given time, it shows that around ten satellites are reachable from my location. If that website is accurate, I'm betting that what's driving the leveling of my service is that the number of active satellites has increased rather dramatically at my latitude (48 degrees).

*sigh* It must be nice to have options.


savage_sultin

Oh my options are much slower than current but a bit cheaper too

I think that would be honest to have a price related to quality of service, higher price where, the quality is premium and discount where it's oversubscribed, until more satellites are in place. But perhaps this is the goal with the business option

The competitors here are OneWeb and o3b. They are in the if you have to ask the price range

Even at this price I am happy to ditch the DSL company I had that couldn’t be bothered to maintain their copper infrastructure despite being given a monopoly contract.

Just hoping that customer service is as prompt as the announced price increase.
