• New starlink offer

    From Frank Howell@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 15 11:32:07 2023
    New Priority Plans
    Starlink Priority plans are best for businesses and other high demand
    users at one location. Now starting at $250/mo, these plans include
    faster download and upload speeds, including during times of peak usage, priority customer support, and a public IP address. After Priority data
    is exhausted, the plans include unlimited Standard data. Order now at starlink.com/business.




    Gee should I give up my Astound internet at $58 a month and get Starlink
    with faster download and upload speeds (What ever that is) for $250 a month?

    This bullshit would make PT Barnum proud. "There’s a sucker born every minute."

    C'mon, Frank, you've been around long enough to know what Starlink is
    about. Take myownself for example - these are my choices where I live,
    and I average about 60 GB/mo:
    DSL - 35ms, 2.5 Mbps, $60
    Hughesnet - 600-800ms, 20-25 Mbps, 15GB/mo, $65
    Starlink - 40ms, 100+ Mbps, 1TB/mo, $110

    If you were me, which would you choose?
    Why?

    If you were a business that did a lot of business on the internet, and
    without access to cable or fiber, which would you choose?
    Why?

    I would move. That said if this offer is successful it should
    make fiber expansion more attractive as it would undercut
    Starlinks price.

    Well. That's a bit extreme.

    I just realized that I didn't answer your question, so.......If I were
    you, I wouldn't give up an astounding connection unless I found one
    that was astonishing or amazing. 'Course, there's the possibility that
    you have different definitions of those three than I do, and/or don't
    rank them in the same hierarchy that I do. Howzat?
