Starlink upgrades their network and terms of service

My wife pointed out an email that she just got that greatly expanse what you can do with your Starlink. Here’s below what it says.

I'm guessing they already increased our price then. I would like to look for something more affordable that works everywhere but right now, I just don't think there is that option.

Starlink was pretty good for the money when it started. I think maybe $100 or 125 a month. they have a monopoly now and will continually jack the price up, I think.

I stayed at a campground in WY 2 years ago and they had just started using it. Small CG with maybe 12-15 sites. Excellent speed.

Yea I got same email. Logged in and yea was $150 last year and will pay $165 this year. Being able to only turn it on for the 2-4 months I need makes it worth it to me.

Something else -
our starlink is going to drop in price for us! from $165 to $50/mo. theyve introduced new plans. We don’t need unlimited data so works better for us!

Wait WHAT??

I think the $50 Roam plan has a 50 GB limit with $1 per gigabyte over 50GB.
$165 Roam plan is unlimited.

[brycesteiner]

Yep. they've introduced several new plans. 50GB/month $50 and then $1 per gig if you go over. I probably wouldn't use it all since it's mainly work. Unlimited is $165 because I have the mobile version. Since you can start using it while driving it might be good to get work done for those riding along.
