Elon Musk just announced on Twitter that Starlink Spacex now also comes in a better variant, more expensive. Sarped with Right Starlink Premium, the service promised to provide high-speed internet throughout the world, regardless of location. It comes with a large antenna and all of its needs are clear sky views to provide access to the internet. However, it is also equipped with a significant price increase for standard Starlink subscription fees.
According to the official Starlink website, new services are made for “the highest demand users,” including small businesses of up to 20 people. However, nothing stops ordinary people to try themselves, but the price labels can delay most potential customers – even those who really want a quick and reliable connection.
To get Starlink Premium, the new user will first have to pay $ 2,500 for a rectangular antenna, a $ 500 deposit to order premium satellite satellite dish, and also $ 500 per month for the service itself. This is a massive price increase in ordinary Starlink, which is worth $ 499 for hardware and then $ 99 a month. What does SpaceX offer for this price?
Starlink promises high connection speed, although there is a lot of space between the minimum and the maximum bandwidth offered. According to the website, premium users can expect between 150-500Mbps in download speeds with 20-40ms latency. No doubt, this is an upgrade from standard standlink, which offers speeds between 50 and 250 Mbps. Upload speed also sees an increase: Premium offers 20 to 40 Mbps compared to basic Starlink 10-20Mbps.
Spacex advertises Starlink Premium as an ideal choice for customers living in rural areas. Premium comes with a larger antenna, the company promised has twice the antenna capabilities of Starlink. Because this service is intended for upper class client bases, it also offers 24/7 support that is prioritized and high performance regardless of weather conditions. The premium antenna will begin to be sent in the second quarter of 2022, and the order is open on the Starlink website.
While it sounds good on paper, it’s hard to deny that the price of $ 500 / month label will put a lot of people. However, for business, Starlink Premium can be proven to be a decent alternative – especially in remote areas with very few choices for high-speed Internet. The speed is one thing, but the connection stability must also be considered. Many reviews on the internet, including this one from Tom’s Guide, Starlink Praise Standard for its decent speed, but complained about inconsistencies and drip connections. If this problem survives the premium, the service can crash and burn instead of soaring with other Elon Musk businesses.
