It may go unnoticed by some, but Elon Musk’s Internet service calls Starlink It already has coverage in Mexico, which has led some users to choose to have this option via satellite at home. However, it has not satisfied all citizens due to the price problem, and now, the owners are businessmen Twitter Work has begun to see if this issue can be fixed.
First of all, this type of Internet is intended for places where the arrival of coaxial cable or fiber optics is complicated, so this option would be ideal where the signal comes from the sky. However, it requires a slightly more expensive router due to the material it’s made of, and adds the cost of a consistently incoming signal, which will have a slight delay.
As mentioned by the official website Starlink, the first one-time payment for the hardware is 8,300 Mexican pesos, since it includes not only the router, but also cables, power supplies, and some other accessories for installation. Added to this is the service cost, which is 1,100 per month, and the speed is 130 MB, balanced between uploads and downloads.
You can also opt for business, which obviously costs almost twice as much due to covering a large number of devices and ensuring they have a stable signal. Last but not least, there is the portable modality, with prices like accommodation, for those who want to take the router to places where they travel for business.
These types of services can be similar to services such as solar panels that generate electricity for homes, i.e., practical solutions that are out of reach due to non-competitive prices. This means that people of better financial means can afford it, but the average family will stick with more affordable offerings such as Easy, Telmex, Claro VideoAmong others.

Editor’s note: Still, it’s a fairly high entry price, since you must pay for the hardware and the monthly payment, which is around 10,000 pesos. Even then, paying 1,300 per month later won’t make sense for some, as it doesn’t include cable or telephone, just internet.
