    Maybe. Time will tell.

    Cgro this is useful if you are going to travel to a remote places, or it may appeal to those that will usually camp out.

    Also, I didn't know na may cignal internet using satellite. That would be a welcome addition dito sa PH and a much cheaper than starlink.

    Also, hindi pa masyadong wide coverage ni dito.
    I recently bought dito sim for my dual sim iphone.
    I was tempted from their 99/month 7GB data, 300 mins call to other network.
    Pero hirap makasagap ng signal on some places especially if you are inside the building.
    Wala ding 5G sa iphone, not sure if makakuha ng 5G signal android users.
    Globe 5G is OK in my area.

    Imbis na makatipid, napa load tuloy sa primary globe sim prepaid ko ng Php213 which is 5GB, 500 mins globe to globe calls for 30 days. if maubos 5GB before mag one month, top-upan ko lang ng 5Gb using Go50.

    Tipid sana dito if wide coverage signal niya.
    Where is the 5k/month? This is from their website when I entered my PH address. Granted it's just an estimate.

    Also, I think their monthly bandwidth quota is 1TB.



    Again, satellite internet is not for everyone. If you have an off-grid hacienda in the mountains, this is probably your only option for connectivity.

    Anong site po reference nyan? Sa pre-order site ako nag check last time.
    $100 at that time and then when I checked monthly rate from their site, it was $100.
    So that's 5000 equivalent in PHP.

    I couldn't input the pre-order anymore but you can check some other sites naman that their monthly rate in US is $100.

    It's also mentioned here yung monthly rate:
    Starlink starting this end of 222, monthly service fee of around PHP 5,5 >> YugaTech | Philippines Tech News & Reviews

    I see, hopefully eto na yung final price nila.
    5k/month is too much and can't compete locally.

    just recently lang may tumawag sakin csr ng pldt and she offered me a free wifi mesh and speedboost. saktong i need a mesh badly because my old linksys router was outdated getting malfunctioned sometimes and kinda slow even with pldt fibr connected through it.

    sa inyo din ba libre ang wifi mesh? sa pag kakaalam ko its an additional fee to your billing kasi.

    Mas mahal if mag avail ka ng mesh sa kanila.
    Bumili ako sa shopee, mura pa.
    Try to compare the additional monthly sa billing for 36 months if you avail sa mesh vs price ng mesh sa shopee.

    If free yung offer, I think ma lock-in ka for another 24 or 36 months.
    Magkano pala monthly mo, Im wondering who are those offered with free mesh.

    plan ko is 1699 150mbps kasi it is renewal of my plan then she mentioned that lock in period of 24 months. and they offer me free mesh also because i've been a pldt subscriber since the 90's.
