Enables it for 30 days. Such a massive cut in usability on top of tripling in price for existing users does deserve derision.

This is what happens when there is no competition. There is no better alternative, and if demand goes up...

Before starlink existed, there was also no competition.

So what, nobody is allowed to launch any product unless it also has a competitor?

I don't know how you got there but no that's not the implication.

What? I'm confused by your reply.

I meant that Starlink adjusting prices shouldn't be surprising, if anything it is still cheap (IOM).

I got a mini on sale at HD for ~200, paid 0/mo -> 5/mo now $10/mo to keep online as a backup. Amazing tech IMO and cheap.

Thread was complaining about starlink having no competition. That's like complaining AWS had no competition a couple years after it launched.
