After Starlink obtained authorization to operate in Spain, the company is now announcing the value of its monthly satellite internet plan for the country. According to Elon Musk's company, interested parties must pay R$ 530 per month, in addition to the initial cost of the equipment plus shipping to receive it.
To install the necessary equipment for Starlink's satellite internet to work, there is a cost of BRL 2670 for the "Starlink Kit" plus BRL 365 for freight for the company to send the parts to the interested party. The kit consists of:
- WIFI router
- Power supply
- Cabos
- Base
However, in addition to paying R$ 3035, not counting the monthly amount of the internet plan, anyone who wants to have a Starlink internet must also pay taxes on the value of the product, which may vary according to the state where the interested party lives.
Availability and speed offered
According to Starlink, its services started operating in Spain in mid-2022. Unfortunately, an exact date for the debut of satellite internet by Elon Musk's company was unfortunately not provided.
Currently, Starlink offers an internet with speeds between 100 MB/s and 200 MB/s, where the latency (response time between the command and the accomplishment of the task) is up to 20ms depending on the location.
I made a reservation to receive Starlink internet, now what?
According to Starlink, payment for booking its products and services is refundable. It is important to note that the company says that some orders can take up to six months to be delivered.
Starlink recommends that the user use the supplied equipment in conjunction with the Starlink application to assist in choosing the location to install the antenna and receive the best possible signal. There are more than 4 low-orbit satellites located approximately 550 km from Earth.
