SpaceX has launched another batch of Starlink internet satellites just as the company begins offering a premium service alongside its standard offering.
The mission took place a day after news emerged that SpaceX is preparing a Starlink Premium broadband service on top of its standard service.
That’s way more than the standard Starlink internet service, which since launching in October 2020 has required a $99 deposit, $499 for the hardware, and a monthly service fee of $99. Folks ordering Starlink Premium at the current time can expect the kit, which includes a larger dish than the standard option, to ship in the second quarter of this year, SpaceX says on its website, though in the small print it says “orders may take six months to fulfill.”
