Sawyer Merritt(@SawyerMerritt):SpaceX is increasing the price of Starlink Standby Mode to $10/month (from $5/month). Standby Mode allows users to "pause" their service for a reduced fee while maintaining a, low-speed, 500 Kbps connection for essential, low-bandwidth tasks. SpaceX: "Strong demand for Starlink reflects the value customers continue to see in the service. This adjustment supports ongoing improvements and investment in affordable, high-performance products and services as global operating costs continue to rise."
