Starlink Scraps 5TB Data Cap After User Backlash
SpaceX appears to have reversed a throttling policy tied to a 5TB monthly data cap on Starlink’s Residential service after customer complaints, with affected users reporting speeds returning to normal and some receiving a one-month service credit. The move follows criticism that Starlink marketed its service as unlimited and lacked clear guidance on data use, with throttling previously reducing speeds to 10Mbps or lower for the rest of the billing cycle.
