Starlink is adding a 1TB data cap for usage during peak hours | Engadget

TL;DR

As The Verge reports, the SpaceX-run satellite internet provider is instituting a 1TB "Priority Access" monthly cap for data use between 7AM and 11PM beginning in December.Cross that limit and you'll spend the rest of the month relegated to "Basic Access" that, like with some phone carriers, deprioritizes your data when the network is busy.Fixed business service has peak-hour caps ranging from 500GB to 3TB, with extra full-speed data costing $1 per gigabyte.Starlink maintains that it has to balance supply with demand to provide fast service to the "greatest number of people."While Musk has said SpaceX will continue to pay regardless of assistance, it's clear the company is worried about expenses as demand increases."
