Starlink And Other Projects Aim To Bring Fast, Affordable, Unlimited Internet To Rural Alaska

SpaceX’s promise with Starlink is bold: fast, unlimited internet for $99 per month, plus a one-time equipment purchase of $549. According to its website, while Starlink is in beta testing, users can expect data speeds of 50 to 150 Mbps, and speeds are expected to improve even more. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
Residents of Western Alaska villages currently pay several hundreds of dollars a month for data speeds that max out at 10 Mbps. That’s five to 15 times slower than what Starlink advertises, and even that caps out at a limit.
Starlink would change all this because it can reach remote areas without fiber-optic cables or microwave towers. It uses Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites that fly within several hundred miles of the planet. That means a very small delay for internet data to travel from those satellites down to Earth, which is referred to as low latency.
