Minimal cost for Starlink; keeps their name in a good light, people get interested in potentially signing up. Still no guaranteed Service level/Speed at that price tier.
I am in Mahahual Mexico and my speeds have definitely increased on my Starlink mini I love how they all say 100MGPS when I have been getting over 200 on average for the past 4 days.
I had starlink for years and the speed was rarely over 75mb and during peak times it would get down to 5mb. Seemed like it was just getting slower ever month. This is in Arizona.
I think I'm just in an overloaded area. I hope that eventually the speed and consistency gets better. Luckily I still had the option for regular broadband in the mean time.
SpaceX has now revealed the reason why Starlink went down for the longest outage in its existence on Friday, July 25. American users couldn't use Starlink for hours, but it was all because of an upgrade.
