Starlink Internet? Elon...what's going on? Price up, service down?

What happens here

Reflect on past internet service experiences (e.g., CenturyLink, HughesNet) and current local options (e.g., Spectrum) to evaluate Starlink's value proposition. The presenter notes that Starlink's monthly cost has risen from $90 to $120, while offering inferior speeds and reliability compared to a less expensive local alternative. This comparison highlights the declining cost-effectiveness of the service.

Goal: The presenter contextualizes the current Starlink issues by comparing its speeds and escalating costs with previous internet providers and available alternatives.
