After the new policies come into effect in December, standard residential users will start each month with 1 TB of “Priority Access” included in their $110 monthly.
In a nutshell: Starlink told its customers via email this week that their internet access might be throttled after they use more than 1 TB within a month. Starlink has updated its “Fair Use” and “Specifications” documents to reflect the changes, which include slower average speeds and countermeasures to reduce congestion during peak periods.
After the new policies come into effect in December, standard residential users will start each month with 1 TB of “Priority Access” included in their $110 monthly fee for use during “peak hours,” 7 am to 11 pm. Data used outside of those hours won’t count toward the cap. If a subscriber uses more than 1 TB they’ll be transitioned to “Basic Access,” which is unlimited but potentially much slower than Priority Access when there’s congestion.
