"Viasat now: 49mbps DL 7mbps Up 609ms latency $75/mo (then $100/mo). Both exclude equip/fees. Cheaper plans exist but dont match Starlinks value"

"Thank you @Starlink for providing the best and most affordable rural internet for those like me who had few other options. It's easily the best value has given me good speeds consistently and had been extremely reliable. XX outta 10"

"I always look for the best value. Starlink is fantastic for rural people with limited options and I highly recommend it I'm a big fan. However it's more expensive and slower compared to fiber. #Fiber will become available in my area in September and I'll be making the switch"

"Our options at the time were Hughesnet Viasat Century Link. Hughesnet: $150/mo intro 25mbps DL 3mbps Up 50GB cap 2-yr commitment. Unsure of equip costs. Viasat: $150/mo intro (3 mo) then $200/mo 3mbps 150GB cap 2-yr commitment + equip fees"

"Starlink outperforms Hughesnet & Viasat. Similar cost after intro rates + fees but faster no caps and no commitments. The expansion of starlink pushed the others to make some improvements and slightly better offerings but big picture- Starlink is the clear winner"

"That being said I harbor no ill will to Viasat or Hughesnet they do offer affordable options for those not looking for the higher speeds & more data. I'm glad they seem to have improved in the last X years"

"Now X yrs later Starlink had had maybe X outages X min longest (the most recent) was 1.5hrs. It requires X maintenance handles frigid Northern MN winters and I have zero complaints Just for fun- Hughesnet now: 100mbps DL 5mbps Up 650ms latency $70/mo (then $95/mo)"
