Utilities & Mobile Starlink price rise

SHOCK HORRER, i have just received an email to inform me that as of 16th May the monthly cost for starlink is rising from 2700 to 3800 php.
I can't be bothered to work out what that is in percentage but it's a lot

 

Well, Musk must need a pay rise.

 

A 40% tariff

3800pp is 16% cheaper than the 80usd charged in the country the satellites are launched from.

High speed internet is like shabu. At first, give it away to get them hooked.

 

It seems that the introduction of Starlink into the Philippines came under the PSA (Philippine Space Agency) Incentivise project thereby, indirectly, subsidising the cost of Starlink in the Philippines. The Incentivise project was funded by USAID which has now been stopped by Mr T - Hence the cost is passed to the customer.

 

The price rise sucks, especially since we have 2 systems; but it is the best internet connection we've had, and it is nice to have a connection at the farm where cell phone service is spotty at best.

I just received my first invoice since the price increase and they have given me a credit for 1100p so my payment balance remains the same as before at 2700p

 

They only took P2700 on my account too CharlyB so I have no idea when this price rise will come into force????

 

After re-reading the original email they sent i think the price rise is only for new customers.

 

Looks like the honeymoon period is over, my invoice this month had no credit so total payment is 3800p

 

Me too!
