Starlink offers Competitive Internet alternative in Greater Gardner MA – How Do You Connect?
One year ago we published an article on Starlink Internet which is an Elon Musk company. At that time the service had limited availability in the area and cost over $100 per month. Now, the service has high availability and is $90 per month for service, making it competitive with cable internet. You also pay an initial fee of $599 for the hardware. Specs: Unlimited standard data – Speed is 25-100 mbps download (up to 200mbps), upload is 5-10mbps (up to 20mbps) during peak hours of usage, Latency is 25-60 ms. For business, the cost is greater starting at $250 per month and $2500 for hardware with 1TB of priority data.
Starlink in the news: When Russia invaded Ukraine, Elon Musk agreed to provide Starlink Internet service for FREE. Last month, the U.S. awarded a contract to Space X to provide Starlink Internet to Ukraine on an ongoing basis. The move came after Musk had stated his company wouldn’t be able to provide the service for FREE indefinitely. This move attests to the quality of the service which is now one more option for residents in the Greater Gardner MA area.
