Starlink has a specific backup plan too don't they?

Indeed. It's very cheap ($5?) and is fast enough to do 1080p YouTube with unlimited data. It's speed capped so if you really need it it's best to upgrade the plan that month.

You can’t use it perpetually they force you to upgrade after a while. It’s called „standby plan” for a reason.

> 0.5Mbps (500Kbps)

I am cautiously optimistic that this means even if thousands of these devices suddenly "light up" in an outage, the infrastructure should be able to handle them, right? Thoughts?

I for one think this is a great marketing opportunity. Even if you have the best gigabit fiber, at five dollars a month, this is a no brainer for a lot of people. If you can have monthly recurring revenue for starlink doing essentially nothing, why not? Also, it is probably easier to upsell to existing customers.

I thought so. I saw it a while ago when I re-working my network but didn't get it because I have 2TB of data on my phone that I can connect to my router should my internet go down. It's only a 250Mbps(down)/40Mbps(up) connection but that will do for a couple of days or so.
