Starlink's "Standard" service plan's 1 TB fair usage system is removed by SpaceX

Starlink appears to have quietly updated its fair use policy. The unlimited data allocation system for Starlink's Standard plan was detailed on the company's official website. The Standard Service Plan assigns an unlimited amount of data to customers.

The Standard Service Plan is designed for personal, family, or household use. Social media users have shared a message that they received from the private space company. Starlink customers with the company's Standard plan will no longer be deprioritized after using up 1 ton of data. The purchase of additional data is required for Mobile Priority.

Priority users will receive unlimited standard data once they consume the priority data allocated for their account. The update received positive reactions from users of the satellite internet system, with some users noting that even the retired 1 TB data allocation was already quite generous. It is difficult to argue that Starlink's Standard plan is still better than a plan with a data threshold. Since then, the company has been able to launch more satellites.
