There has been an important development regarding Starlink, the internet project of Elon Musk’s space transportation company SpaceX via satellites. Making a new post about Starlink on Twitter, Musk officially announced how many users the project has reached. According to the statements of Elon Musk, the number of customers who applied to use Starlink has exceeded 250 thousand.
Starlink project promises internet access via satellites in close orbit of the Earth. Customers, on the other hand, get high-speed internet access through a small kit with a satellite receiver they install in their home. SpaceX, which has sent thousands of satellites to space for the project, which has been in the testing phase for a while, has not encountered any major problems so far. However, the kits, which are said to be delivered in 2021, are unfortunately delayed and have not yet been delivered to consumers.
A new subscription package was announced for Starlink
In a content we shared with you recently, we mentioned that a new subscription package has been created for Starlink. The package called “Starlink Premium” was 5 times more expensive than the standard package. However, the engineers who designed a new antenna promised better speed and lower latency with this subscription package. It is not known how many of the 250 thousand customers are standard package and premium package users.
We also mentioned in our Starlink Premium content; As Webtekno, we are also Starlink customers. However, we have not experienced any concrete development in this regard so far. The device has not yet arrived. In the e-mail we received from the company, we were told that we would cancel the subscription and get our money back, but we did not choose such a thing. We do not know when the device will reach us or when we will start using Starlink internet.
