Starlink says it’s easy to start: plug in the dish and aim it at the sky

Starlink, a satellite internet service operated by SpaceX, utilizes thousands of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to deliver high-speed internet. The service can be set up in two simple steps: plug in the dish and point it toward the sky, connecting within minutes.

According to Starlink.com, it offers download speeds ranging from 25 to 220 Mbps and a low latency of 20 milliseconds, making it suitable for streaming, gaming, and video calls. Space.com notes that with over 6,000 satellites, Starlink is transforming internet access in rural and remote areas, though connectivity may be affected by bad weather.

Per CNET, the initial cost is $349, with a monthly fee of $120, making it pricier than traditional providers but uniquely innovative. This technology promises to enhance global connectivity.
