Starlink is now cheaper than leading internet provider in some African countries
Starlink, now available in more than 100 countries, is cheaper than the leading fixed internet service provider in at least five of the 16 African countries where the service is available. The company does not offer fixed rates - it instead adjusts prices to reflect market conditions. Its satellites are able to provide services where ground-based internet infrastructure is sparse or nonexistent. Starlink has disrupted the existing internet service provider industry in Kenya, where it became so popular that the company had to pause new subscriptions due to network overload.
