I was expecting it to be around 3k. the price is definitely not worth so it should be last option for businesses and people in very remote areas where no option is available. instead of spending money on this, one can always check with local airfiber provider, they will use ubiquiti or mikrotik AP to give internet. It will cost around Rs 600 for 50MBPS plan. alternatively, lease line would cost less so i don’t think it is really good at that price point. Kit price is also higher and could have been better with 12k to 20k.

The equipment is definitely on the pricey side but this is going to be big hit in remote locations.

Did they mistyped office/corporate with residential ? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I dont think so, the subscription cost is huge, there will be only very few takers at that cost.

In Africa the price is around 30k .

BSNL FTTH is around 399 per month in most areas . Very remote areas this might be useful though .

I am talking about very remote areas. I am talking from the perspective as someone who served in the forces and had to suffer using BSNL VSATs.

10

Wont using this for any kind of defense purpose be a security risk ?

Great news - I need to expand my travel / remote living plans! <3

I assume Starlink Mini would be more suited.

There devices are “GPS locked” to a limited grid area. Not sure if one can travel pan-India without problems.

12

Yeah - this wont clear for that use. I am saying there were people close to where I was deployed it had 0 connectivity. BSNL VSAT is close to 25-30K a month

updated my views. for me it is a NO buying. Airtel Broadband speed is 200mbps at around Rs 1000+GST. I use Ubiquiti litebeam to pass the internet to village and it is giving same speed with same latency.

Don’t see those plans listed

this mini version looks really good for camping and expedition in High Himalayan region.
Can come in very handy in emergency situation and monitoring weather etc.

Canadian Dollar- $7/m for low speed and emergency plan.

Indian price - Rs 8600/m for high speed and unlimited

i wonder if in India they will have that $7 like plan also.

16

After poor sales, starlink will tie up with Jio to make it palatable.

17

$7 plan is around 1mbps max.

18

Yes.
1mbps is also not as bad as it sounds. Youtube ( low quality) chal jayega, Email, weather monitoring etc .
Most things will still work .

Gaming might be an issue and downloading uploading also will be an issue but like I said it will still get most job done.

Unless someone wants streaming and all in remote areas.

@solo_Wing good for govt employees jo link nhi rahne ka rona rote hai har roj. speed is matching their speed so.

Dont think our govt. will provide them with such service in first place.

Government dont like to spend on actual public service.

They will rather transfer Rs 10k to 1.5 crore women during elections than spend on actual ground level work.

beside say even if they do…will it be safe to give access to Americans so easily to our public data .

They can also use this as another bully tactics .
