Starlink Halves Mid-South Internet to $27.50, Waives $350 Hardware as Data Feeds AI

3 articles · Updated · FOX13 Memphis · Jul 1

Summary

  • $27.50-a-month Starlink service is being offered to families in parts of Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi, cutting the standard $55 base price in half and eliminating residential hardware fees that can reach $350.
  • The offer expands earlier Memphis-area discount reports with concrete pricing and broader regional coverage around Starlink and xAI operations in Memphis and Southaven, Mississippi.
  • Starlink's privacy policy says personal information can be used to train machine-learning and AI models, including Grok, and can also be shared with third-party collaborators.
  • That trade-off lands as the company pushes cheaper access in a region where its nearby data-center presence has already drawn scrutiny and complaints in earlier reports.
