Like how? Comcast charging 80 bucks for a freaking barely reaching 100Mbps and twisting their nipples?

Lmao the city and suburb crowd is here to tell rural folk that 100mbps internet with 20ms latency for 99 bucks a month is bad

This.

If you use real data instead of the junk the recent FCC was putting out, something like half of americans don't have real broadband access.

Fastest I can get at my house is 8 Mb DSL, no matter how much I'm willing to pay.

And I only get that without a data cap by paying business rates.

I'd happily pay double what Starlink is asking just to get half the average speed users of starlink in the beta are receiving.

Even that would be 5x faster than what I have now.

If I got average starlink beta speeds it'd be a 10x improvement.

And the targeted final speeds would be a roughly 120x improvement over the best I can get now.

I live in a rural area and internet is $85 for 50gb monthly so $100 for starlink is a deal and my current setup is a tablet with sprint unlimited for $15 and EasyTether to a GL.iNET GL-MT300N-V2 router not the fastest speed but it works.

Yep. Lotta people have no idea how much it can cost for very little internet service when there aren't any options but a flaky unlimited cellular hotspot (if you can manage to get your hands on one for $$$$) or a slow and super expensive satellite internet plan with a tiny data allowance from one of the current providers.

Starlink is an absolute no-brainer at $99 a month for folks who have suffered through that kind of stuff for years.

I'd bet the vast majority of people interested in this have probably spent will over the $500 hardware costs of Starlink trying to hobble together a decent Internet connection over the years.

Here's hoping Tmobile's 5G home internet turns out OK/usable.
Their current Home internet guarantees 25meg down already should be plenty for vast majority.
Seems like most aren't even aware of that option? Unless their address truly doesn't qualify.
Unsure of actual speed, but it's deployed with that kind of promise in a rural lakeside location where coverage barely stable comes in with Moto G Power models & barely gets 2meg down on those phones.

Quote from SmilingMorning4257 :
I don't get this project. I know it will offer wired line like service to rural Westerners at a fair but not great price. But what about connecting poor people who live in the Amazon rainforest or in the middle of nowhere? I was thinking that satellite internet could even help people who live in dystopian nightmare countries like North Korea, Russia, China. But $100 is too much for the aforementioned groups. This was never about the masses or repressed. Oh, well.
Gotta make money first to give/spend money...

Personally, this makes my dream of moving into an RV and working remotely from some campsite that is clear line of sight to the sky more realistic...

Take a look at the details, don't think it supports mobile (variable) locations... unless your RV never moves

Low is relative. Starlink isn't currently meant to be a replacement for wired connections. It's for people that don't have that option which is a huge percentage of the country and it's much faster and cheaper than anything those areas have ever had access to.
gigabit by the end of year... is that good enough
