Starlink, a satellite internet service provided by SpaceX, is now accessible in the Philippines, according to recent reports.
The service, which has been in beta testing for several months, provides high-speed internet to areas where traditional internet infrastructure is lacking. Customers can connect to Starlink using a small satellite dish and a modem, allowing for faster download and upload speeds than what is currently available in many rural and remote locations.
Starlink has received widespread attention for its potential to bring internet access to underserved regions around the world. The company plans to launch thousands of satellites to create a global network, and has already launched over 1,300 into orbit.
While there are other satellite internet providers on the market, Starlink’s low earth orbit satellites give it an advantage in terms of speed and latency. The service has been particularly popular in areas with limited or no access to broadband internet, such as rural communities, remote islands, and ships at sea.
For those interested in trying Starlink in the Philippines, they can visit the company’s website to check availability and order a kit. The service requires a one-time equipment fee and a monthly subscription, which can vary depending on the location and local currency.
With Starlink now available in the Philippines, it’s expected that many more people will have access to high-speed internet, which could have a significant impact on education, business, and communication in the country.
The order form displays that the service has a set monthly payment of Php 2,700, no commitment, and a Php 29,320 cost for the hardware when you provide your address.
You can now visit Starlink’s Map portal, input your address, and place your order.
