Starlink Internet Becomes More Difficult to Use as Time and Data Limits Are Introduced

Starlink internet users in Myitkyina have recently been facing difficulties as some internet shops have shifted from a system where users paid based on their actual usage to one in which access is limited by time and data quotas, according to local residents.
After reports emerged on August 17 that changes would be made to Starlink's policy and system, some internet shops in Myitkyina reportedly began switching to a system in which users purchase internet access based on data volumes measured in gigabytes (GB).
Instead of the previous system, in which users could purchase cards for one hour, one day, one week, or one month, the system has reportedly been changed to packages such as 1GB and 12GB. The change to time-based limits has caused considerable difficulties, according to a local resident.
“Before, if you didn't use it, your balance didn't run out. Now, whether you use it or not, once the allotted time expires, it is gone. Once it runs out, you have to buy it again. It's inconvenient,” the resident said.
Therefore, the introduction of time and GB limits on internet access has reportedly increased costs for people who rely on the internet for online education, accessing information, communication, and online work.
Residents also said that since August 17, some Starlink Wi-Fi devices in Myitkyina have been shut down, leaving people to share and use only the remaining operational devices. This has also resulted in weaker internet connections, they said.
In addition to Myitkyina, Starlink Wi-Fi internet has become an important service relied upon by residents in various parts of Kachin State, where telephone and internet connections have been cut off.
