Starlink Arrived in the DR
That sounds like a "Let them eat cake" comment?
Remember the great government cheese giveaway in the 70s?
Yes. That happened to me, too. I just ordered my second Starlink. The new location of our learning center is one block up from the main road passing through Jamao. Claro came to connect the internet and told me that Claro did not have cable there!
Our non-profit did not want to pay the cost of Starlink, but we rely on internet for all our electronic record keeping, messaging, and our smartboard. So we bit the bullet. And now that it is installed, I could not be happier.
can you tell me what you ordered? standard pkg? no extras. they deliver tl an address here .?
I bought it here from one of these little cell phone places in Cabarete. I had several people recommend the guy who owns it, and I must say I like him. Although he only has a motor, any time something is going on with my system, he drives up here.
I have the basic hookup and 2 extenders in my house- so there is internet also in my little casita. In the learning center, I have the basic unit and one extender.
Where are you? If on the North Coast I can give you the guy's name.
Maybe I paid more than I would if I had ordered it myself, but it is well worth it to have him give me service when I need it. He works for a tip.
For the system and the extender and cables and whatever else he needed to do the installation, I paid 68,000 pesos. It came with 3 free months of service because the system was guaranteed for 3 month. After that, I pay 2,900 a month.

If a person does all of the work themselves, it's overpaying.
If somebody offers a complete package where the customer doesn't have to lift a finger, it's a pretty good deal.
Great customer service in this country is worth its weight in gold.
FYI
Starlink just raised prices in the DR
From 2,900 per month to 3,400 per month regular/residential
The lite version stays in the 2,400 pesos per month
Users in DR received an email confirming the price increase.

Yeah, I got the email. That's quite a hike in one go. I can imagine it's going to piss off a lot of customers.
