Reply to comment by SpenB in Dish network has been down since Thursday and they cannot recover by ahistoryofmistakes

Starlink offers a$500 system that provides 50mbs, far better than the 5mbs offered by dish. The price you quoted is for 500mbs, faster than my cable connection in a large city. Either plan is more than enough for the entire family to stream.

It's fine to hate, just hate for legit reasons.

I'm only seeing one residential plan for Starlink, at $110/month. Supposedly 100 Mbps but from what I've heard network congestion has made it far lower.

They're selling the system for $500 but it costs them more than $2000 to build.

Satellite TV sucks but it'll be the only option for super-rural areas for a while.
