Slow internet speed is a serious problem in Pakistan. The government is preparing to introduce satellite internet service, but its cost is beyond the reach of the common man. The satellite mobile package for Elon Musk’s Starlink service costs Rs 50,000 and the hardware costs Rs 120,000.
Satellite Internet: The issue of slow internet speed in Pakistan is quite old. It is being claimed that internet speed has reduced due to censorship, while the government says that the internet speed has reduced due to the cutting of submarine cables. To overcome the issue of slow internet speed, the government is working towards launching satellite internet service. It is believed that satellite internet may be approved in Pakistan soon.
Monthly recharge plan is 50 thousand rupees
However, the question is arising that if satellite internet is approved by the government, will the common Pakistani be able to use it after that? Actually, such a question is arising because the prices of satellite internet in Pakistan are skyrocketing. Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink is being rolled out in Pakistan. However, now its price has come out, according to which the satellite mobile package costs 50 thousand rupees. In this price, a speed of 50-250 Mbps will be offered, while 120,000 Pakistani rupees will have to be paid separately for the hardware. A premium smartphone can be bought for this price.
Business pack plan 95 thousand rupees
If we talk about the residential package plan, then its monthly price will be 35 thousand rupees. A one-time investment of about 110,000 rupees will have to be made on its hardware. The price of Elon Musk’s satellite internet business package will be 95 thousand rupees monthly. In this plan, you will get a speed of 100-500 Mbps. You will have to spend 220,000 rupees on the same hardware.
What is satellite internet service
Elon Musk has sent thousands of satellites into low-earth orbit, which offer satellite internet through beams on the ground. There will be no need for any wire or tower. Provided a receiver is required for satellite internet service, this is the hardware cost.
