Elon is using a $2,500 base station, and $120/month service, for something that can handle one or two HD streams.
Dish is using like $500 of hardware and charging $80/month.

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.
