    Doubt that. The way to discourage people is not to offer the service in suburban and urban areas in the first place.

    They can do that if they wish. Since they don't, I have to assume they want to offer it but are pricing where they feel is it competitive, as is their prerogative.

    Starship is a long way off, launched 2 to 60,000ft and failed to land both, he plans 2022 moon orbit unmanned, 2024 send and land and mars but he's a huge optimist, think 2026 and 2030 not tested the huge 1st stage that needs to land and be reused aswell.

    Some of those areas might still have slow internet so worth offering, agree on price, too many users will slow bandwidth down, so staying premium makes sense, 3rd world countries they'll go cheap flood the market and slow internet is still better than no internet. There up there the cost is over might aswell use them.

    In Europe:

    unlimited volume, download 300Mbps, upload 20 Mbps, fiberglass connection.
    55 Euro a month. Operational 99.99% of the year, downtime almost zero. Price includes the needed router/modem.

    Ping from me to my US broker and back 10-50ms.

    With limited volmueµµme download (150Gb) it starts from 28 Euro. I use average between 200-400Gb/month

    55 euro = $67 (bit more than $40) and I wonder if that is available for that same price/speed throughout all of Europe.

  7. 55 Euro is $67 USD - and you are data capped.

    Nice try though. ;)

    There are countries where it is even cheaper. And also countries where it is even faster.

    You should read better. NOT DATACAPPED. UNLIMITED. Datacapped starts around 25Euro, which is far below $40.

    Nice try though. ;)
