What’s New In Starlink:
“Elon Musk” has talked about fast internet in India, there is only one thing in everyone’s mind that what is new in Starlink? Which is not available in Jio, Airtel, and BSNL. “Starlink” has only given information about the price of its package and the broadband speed. Our opinion is, now we have to wait until the end of 2021 for more information about “Starlink Broadband” to be available. Because “Starlink” is to begin in 2022 in India.
Before choosing broadband, we should see what our needs are. Because the needs of different users may be different. If someone wants broadband at a low cost, then he will choose the lowest-priced package among all company broadband services. If one wants a faster speed, then his preference would be to choose a “service” with faster broadband speed.
