500G limit is what they got, not sure of the plan, but I believe it was
basic residential. They talked to someone at starlink that told them
they could upgrade to the 1T plan but it was another $50/month. That
broke their bank...

What Starlink plan charges for overusage? I thought it was all
prioritization, lower priority plans could be slowed down, but monthly
price stays the same?

SpaceX has reached a limit somewhere.. They are resorting to pricing
games and now putting in caps that they never had before... Either
that or the cell phone greed gene is kicking in. I wonder if they
recently hired any cell phone execs that brought the greed with
them. We are seeing ex customers come crawling back after getting
$600 overage bills...

The real winner is SpaceX.
0 additional work for big fat checks.

If they can't get it with fiber, then get cheap internet
with 5G.

customers using 5G, then where you have concentrations of
customers, roll out fiber? That way you avoid running out
of celltower capacity, and you capture the customers and
keep them away from competitors.
