Starlink gets fair use policy — will start throttling in congested areas

SpaceX's satellite Internet service Starlink will start throttling customers' connection speeds if they consume over 1TB of data per month during the day and live in an area with plenty of other users.

First reported by The Verge, the company has added a fair usage policy section to its website, outlining how it manages its network traffic to balance capacity and demand.

That was expected, would expect the fup to get way stricter based on the possible bandwidth per area.

That FUP should be compared to other satellite FUP and AUP policies.
