Starlink Raises Prices On Customers Who have already been waiting for MONTHS!?!?

[dbm99red]

I received this email at 7:43 EDT today...
"Due to excessive levels of inflation, the price of the Starlink kit is increasing from $499 to $549 for deposit holders, and $599 for all new orders, effective today. In addition, the Starlink monthly service price will increase from $99 to $110. 

 

The sole purpose of these adjustments is to keep pace with rising inflation. As Starlink expands service in your area, you will be emailed when your Starlink is ready and you will have 7 days to finalize your order. You can cancel your deposit for a full refund at any time in your account page. 

 

Since launching our public beta service in October 2020, the Starlink team has tripled the number of satellites in orbit, quadrupled the number of ground stations and made continuous improvements to our network. Going forward, users can expect Starlink to maintain its cadence of continuous network improvements as well as new feature additions. 

 

Thank you for being a Starlink customer and your continued support!

I placed my order in October 2021. They also promised at that time to deliver mine within a few weeks, but failed to do so. They sent an email in late November later saying it would be Fall of 2022 before mine would actually be delivered. I agreed to wait. 

Now, on top of failing to deliver when promised, they think it's OK to raise the price as well, even though they sold units for $499 to other customers at the same time I placed my order in October...five months ago.  

I don't think so. By 7:55 EDT, I had processed the refund of my $99 deposit. 

Congratulations to whoever gets their order quicker thanks to me cancelling mine. I will not do business with liars.

I dont think there is a lot we can do about it unfortunately - I guess its unfortunate but we cannot expect them to run at a loss.
