[Starlink] was released in Australia in 2021 and offers unlimited data for $139 per month plus a hardware cost of roughly $599, with speeds comparable to the NBN’s 100-megabit plans.

Why the fuck would people be swapping to this when it is an extra $40-$50 a month for "comparable" speeds?! This article obviously has an agenda.

5G does have a congestion problem at peak hours as well, meaning that Telstra and Optus won't sell you 5G home broadband if there's already too many subscribers in your area.
