Internet is spreading its wings in India, and the first one to bring the service is going to be Starlink. After a long wait trying to get done with operational approvals done in the country, Starlink is almost here with a couple of formalities left. And yes, the entry of Starlink in the Indian market will bring revolution for sure. Apart from that, the service will serve as a boon for all the remote areas that struggle to get a stable network.

Starlink Internet Speed And Availability

The Starlink satellite internet is said to bring a speed ranging between 25Mbps to 225Mbps for the users. There are chances that the starting range plan will be offering 25Mbps, and the high-end plan (which will also be a little costly as compared to the basic one) will be offering the speed of 225Mbps. Until now, nothing related to the same has been confirmed by Starlink officially. So, the readers are suggested to take all the information with a grain of salt. As for the availability, the government of India has already confirmed that Elon Musk's satellite internet service will be allowed to have only 20,00,000 subscribers in India to maintain the equilibrium in the already established internet service providing market.
