Drop everyone down to the 100 Mbps plan - everyone defends them. Now, they put the price up. It's unclear at what pricing point Starlink will be sustainable at, if it ever is.

What? Definitely didn’t see this bait and switch coming - Elon is such a top guy! Who knows what happens when LEO goes live?

Jokes aside: depending on LEO’s pricing; WISPs that are still around may find they have a resurgence in customers.

I got an email saying Max plan is up to $170 and the mini standby is going up to $30. So I'll return mini and drop down to the 200mbs plan

I’ve had the odd postcard from them wanting me to sign up, and I’m in a Chorus Fibre area too so my 500mbit plan is cheaper
