Starlink Imposes Dramatic Speed Cap for Those on Priority Plans


The satellite internet service imposes a 1Mbps speed cap for Priority customers who exceed their monthly data allotment. It's likely intended to get business customers to pay more.

The company updated Starlink.com and sent out emails about the changes, which include removing access to “Unlimited, Standard Data.” Instead, SpaceX is instituting a hard cap once a Priority user exceeds their monthly data allotment. (Credit: Starlink.com)Starlink users on the Residential and Roam plans don't need to worry; they can continue to receive unlimited data at regular speeds under the service’s fair use policy. Others say they subscribed to the Priority plan because it lets you set up a public IP address, making it useful for businesses or developers wanting to host a server.
