What can we expect from Starlink in Pakistan?

Starlink is an Internet service provider which is totally different from today’s Internet framework. Starlink internet is based on satellites, which is different from current-generation internet infrastructure. Today, internet infrastructure relies on cable and towers, while Starlink takes it to a whole new level and delivers the internet via satellite.

What US Reviewers Say About Starlink

Pros

USA reviewers say that Starlink is nothing short of a innovation. It is something extraordinary that has solved a decade of problems, which is how to use the internet when you are in a rural area. Reviewers say that they had uninterrupted service in areas where there is no Internet. Yes, the USA has many places where it does not have internet connections or even mobile signals. The USA is a very big country, and there are many areas of the USA that do not have facilities for the internet and mobile connection.

Just like in Pakistan, there are many areas that do not even have mobile connections, let alone fiber internet connections or copper wire internet connections. Therefore, the biggest benefit USA reviewers say about Starlink is that it has a connection everywhere. They went to places where even mobile does not have signal coverage, and still Starlink internet was working as it promised, and there were no speed issues, no signal issue, and 24/7 coverage. Moreover, this is the major strength and backbone of Starlink, which USA reviewers describe in their articles. It will give internet access to even K2 Mountain if it comes to Pakistan.

Furthermore, reviewers say that its latency is top class, with no delay and no lag, which is a major issue on the internet nowadays, especially in Pakistan. Reviewers say that Starlink latency is excellent, and it is best for people who love to travel, rural area citizens, and societies that do not have internet access. Starlink is best for you.

Cons

USA-based reviewers say that the biggest issue with Starlink is its price and speed. The price is very expensive compared to fiber internet in the USA. Normally, at USD 64, you can get a 1 GB speed; however, Starlink packages start from USD 120 with a speed of 30–150 Mbps, depending on the areas and guidelines of Starlink.

 If you think that is high, then an even higher issue is that Starlink deceives are based on three sets, and it is your choice what you want to choose. The standard kit cost is USD 349, the mini kit cost is USD 599, and the flat high-performance cost is USD 2,500, and Starlink's maximum speed is 220 Mbps, which may improve in the future, but at the moment this is the maximum Starlink speed.

The summary from the reviewers is that Starlink is not made for normal urban households, as you will waste your hard-earned money on this, and you should stay on your internet or whatever you are using to keep that status quo. Moreover, Starlink is only for those who are in rural areas, travelers, and societies that do not have any kind of internet access.

Prices of Starlink in the USA

If we do a conversion of those prices to PKR, then it is very expensive, and 99% of people cannot afford Starlink with those prices. Of course, Starlink will not make a suicide attempt and just go with a conversion of USD to PKR with their services, and they will have to make it adjustable with local prices just like Netflix did in Pakistan to access as many consumers as they can, and Netflix prices in Pakistan are some of the cheapest prices worldwide.
