is anyone even using that starlink internet? ive seen prices go from 100$/mo which is a lot, but maybe not for sattelite net idk... Is there anything else he gets from sattelites or just internet?
My options are $65 a month for 10Mb download / 768 kbit upload and 120ms ping to gaming servers, and about 1 in 10 packet loss. Or.. $120 a month for starlink which gives me 100-200 MB download and 50-100 MB upload and 40-60ms ping to gaming servers and about 1 in 100 packet loss.
I live in a van and I use Starlink daily when I'm somewhere without cell service.
I use it. My option before was $240/mo for microwave internet. Starlink is both faster and significantly cheaper for me. It's just internet though, same as my other options.
