The Starlink branch of the Elon Musk conglomerate spacex, specializing in the launch of rockets, managed satellite internet coverage in the United States by imposing waiting lists and additional costs in congested areas, or by reducing equipment and renouncing costs in states where the number of Subscriptions to Starlink is low.
She has now started to remove the waiting lists in several cities, replacing them with much higher footprint. Many customers who were waiting for an invitation to subscribe to the Starlink residential plan in cities like Sacramento, Phoenix, San Diego or the Center of Florida received one, but it was not up to their expectations.
SpaceX has increased clutter fees for those who want to get out of the waiting list and start using the satellite internet now, from $ 100 before $ 250 now. This brings back the initial purchase price of the Starlink residential kit to $ 600, as it was the case a long time ago. The parabola and router set costs $ 349, and the congestion costs are now 250 dollars, to which are added some state taxes to make a good measure.
-Thus, the cost of the Satellite Starlink satellite subscription amounts to nearly $ 630 in Sacramento, California, for example, while a Kansas user can obtain the whole for $ 149 thanks to the reduction of 200 dollars granted by Starlink as part of his program of regional savings and without exorbitant congestion costs.
SpaceX has encountered problems with the growing popularity of the Starlink satellite internet in the United States, the capacity is often lower than demand, and has limited excessive data users, even within the framework of its priority level.
The increase in congestion fees seems to be an effective way to manage subscriptions in high demand areas, as users who have been faced at unique costs of $ 250 are saying that they prefer to return to the waiting list rather than pay more than the current price of a mini kit Starlink for a residential antenna.
