Thanks OP, was able to replicate, did online chat - PM'ed with Walmart (Target website says they only PM Walmart and Amazon now), I did not have $15 off electronics coupon, but I did have a $10 off, plus the 15% off, and redcard.
Like I said, for this same product. If someone has access to better/more practical options that cover their uses, then they should use them. This "Mini" is mostly intended for portable internet that will work "almost" anywhere, even if out of range of cell towers, so comparing it to home isn't exactly apples to apples (Tmobile's portable option is more expensive monthly than their home service). Tmobile home internet is for a single location. And their service doesn't work at all in a lot of places I go, whereas Starlink would (if I'd need it). Edit, Starlink mini competition would technically align more with mobile hotspot service.
My location. No fiber, ever, dialup was the only wired option. I use cell, most people I know do, with some switching to Starlink. Tmobile came into the area around 2.5 years ago for the first time, Home wasn't available then (but is now). So, I bought my own router, and upgraded my antenna (I had been using cell internet over 10 years, old antenna wasn't fully compatible), and I'm using a phone plan in that for now. $400 antenna for the tower over 10 miles away (no lockable signal without one), plus $450 cell router (tmobile's routers are quite limited).
Closest town, 15 miles away. Fiber, 100Mbps is about $100/month, they just started offering that speed, their highest offered. I'm supposed to get fiber this summer, they did a site survey last year, likely that speed according to the funding they got, POSSIBLY that price too.
Second closest town, 16 miles in the other direction. Use based fiber, no unlimited plan, flat fee plus pay by the gigabyte used with no cap, $0.13/gig (use 100GB, add $13 to the base fee of $20, 1TB, add $130).
Starlink full, not mini, which would be a comparable use case compared to the Tmo home you mentioned, for home use. $150 for equipment in my area. And $90/month since it's low demand (due to sparse population), and 2 months free at signup since I have a Farm Bureau membership. Averages well over 200Mbps with no noticeable congestion. Faster and cheaper or at least similar priced than every town within a ~30 mile radius of me, much farther than that depending on the direction. And faster than Tmo in every location I checked within signal range in a few of those towns. (Fastest TMO was 250Mbps in the bigger town, the only one offering UC on the tower, or whichever their term is for the faster 5G in limited areas, edit, which uc is not available in the residential part of town).
Edit. In all this rambling, forgot to address equipment costs much. Which, depending on what you need, have available, choose, can be quite expensive for various options, as you can see in what I posted. Cellular providers use ~standard and common cell equipment. Starlink is a custom phased array antenna. They initially cost about $3000 to produce and were taking a significant loss on each sold (selling around $500 or so). Production cost and selling price have both lowered significantly. The mini is more expensive, but $150 for some areas for the regular one isn't bad. Plus, they are owned, retain a decent value if sold. And around here, if fiber is available, $100+ fiber install where available is common. Some installs cost thousands for low hundreds of feet. So, understanding the tech it is, they are quite reasonable. And I suspect prices will eventually lower more, if not free.

PM to $370, the one with $50 shipping? Did they PM without the shipping accounted for at Walmart?
Geeee I can't figure out why all the down votes???
Because people can be tribalistic sheep and some can't divorce their personal politics from their commerce, even for a moment. "Cutting off your nose to spite your face" springs to mind. Which is a shame, because this seems like a decent deal.

People shouldn't pay the people who try to hurt them.

1: Tmobile rent the gateway to users for free
2: Tmobile offers a sign up bonus
3: ~$50 a month
Sure, satellite internet is the only options at certain areas. But starlink could treat their users nicer, such as rent the device to users for free.
Starlink is expensive because they don't have competitors, thus they don't have to give users good deals
