In a lot of places, there are no existing service providers. In other rural areas, all that exists is 1995-level internet, no Youtube, not Netflix, 128k download speeds. And that's between $75 and $95 a month.

I was getting by on 3mbps download speed with a hard 30GB a month cap, initially costing $180 a month. Over the last couple of years that slowly dropped to $120.

For what Starlink is expected to deliver, $500 for the setup and $100 a month is a terrific deal. A dream come true.
