Currently have Ziply Fiber dsl over copper at 40/6 mbps. Works mostly all the time for $91/month. A local fiber company can deliver 500/500 mbps for $65. They’re waiting for permit from Avista Power.

The $40/month Starlink plan is the new Residential 100Mbps tier (introduced in November 2025). It’s Starlink’s most affordable residential option yet, aimed at smaller households with basic needs like browsing, HD streaming, and video calls.
Key Speeds and Details
Download speeds: Capped at up to 100 Mbps (hard limit; you won’t exceed this, even if the network could deliver more).
Upload speeds: No cap mentioned — typically 15–35 Mbps based on Starlink’s general specs, similar to higher tiers.
Latency: Usually 20–50 ms, like other Starlink plans.
Data: Unlimited (no caps or throttling for data volume).
Availability: Limited to select low-congestion areas in the US (mostly rural/sparsely populated spots). Check your address on starlink.com to see if it’s offered — it’s not nationwide yet.
