The cap is expected to go into effect in April 2023. Starlink also will have data caps -eventuallyĪlthough initially offering unlimited data, Starlink recently announced a 1 TB data cap on its plans as part of an effort to address network congestion and slowed speeds. The one benefit to this approach is it means you won’t get charged extra for exceeding your cap. Once you use that up, your internet traffic will be “deprioritized” and it’s likely your speeds will be reduced significantly-usually to around 1–3 Mbps. Providers HughesNet and Viasat give you a small amount of high-speed data upfront. That means you’ll have to be more budget-conscious about how much data you use. Since a satellite internet connection comes down from space, the provider has limited capacity to deliver fast speeds and plentiful data. Satellite internet has very strict data caps. ![]() Exceeding your satellite data cap doesn’t lead to overage charges, but you do get throttled speeds
