How to pre-register?
The steps to follow are simple. You must first enter the page and then enter an email and the address from where you are requesting the service.
As the service is not yet available in Mexico, the page sends you a message announcing Starlink’s plans in the country:

“Starlink is targeting coverage in your area by the end of 2021. Availability is limited. Orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, ”he details.
After verifying that the accessed area enters the Starlink coverage plans, the page will automatically redirect you to a form where you can access data such as name, payment method and, in some cases, a deposit that is refundable.

The service is already available in the United States and the rent for the service is $ 499 and includes the antenna, plus a monthly fee of $ 99.
Just last month, a CNBC report announced the company’s expansion with its internet service after making some public records as a subsidiary in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Brazil.

High speed, low latency internet
According to the official page, during the beta version, users can expect data speeds that vary from 50 Mb to 150 Mb. In addition, it will have a latency of 20 to 40 meters from the locations.
“As we launch more satellites, install more ground stations and improve our network software, data speed, latency and uptime will dramatically improve,” Starlink says.

Easy to set up
Once the service is contracted, a Starlink “kit” will be sent, with everything necessary to connect online, including the Starlink, Wi-Fi router, power supply, cables and mounting tripod.
The page notes that Starlink requires a clear view of the sky to connect, so it will be necessary to download the Starlink app to determine the best installation location.

Low latency equals better video calls
According to the company, latency is the time it takes to send data from one point to the next. When satellites are far from Earth, latency is high, resulting in poor performance for activities like video calls and online games.
“Starlink satellites are 60 times closer to Earth than traditional satellites, resulting in lower latency and the ability to support services that are not normally possible with traditional satellite Internet,” he explains.

Ideal for rural or remote communities
In addition, the internet provider highlights that its service is ideal for areas of the world where connectivity has been a challenge. “Without the limits of traditional terrestrial infrastructure, Starlink can offer high-speed broadband Internet to locations where access has not been reliable or is not fully available.”
