I checked a random Kenyan address on starlink.com, and it would be around 386 USD for the dish there (with service for 50 USD/mo), so not cheap. In Poland I see that they're giving the dish for free with some 1-year contract (58 USD/mo). Maybe it'll become cheaper, they're making millions of them. And you could share it with neighbors - if you can get 300 Mb/s, you could connect like 5 families if the alternative is nothing.

I found a nice website with prices by country: https://www.starlink-prices.com/personal/residential/usd/low

But it may be outdated, because it shows $90/mo price in Poland, while it's much cheaper as I said, even with the free dish.

And some recent articles about Starlink prices in Africa:

Anyway, Starlink is mostly for places where you have no ISPs or cell service (or they are very bad), so not for 95% of Europe, and probably not for most of India, especially in the future.
