Starlink wants to launch its third-generation satellites in 2026

Starlink, the satellite internet division of SpaceX, is preparing to launch its third-generation satellites in the first half of 2026, with the promise of major performance improvements over its existing network.

Starlink isn’t magic — and it’s not for everyone

Elon Musk’s Starlink offers Bangladesh high-speed satellite internet via low-Earth orbit satellites, ideal for rural and remote areas. Despite weather, power, and coverage limits, it’s valuable for underserved regions but less practical in cities with cheaper fibre options.

Starlink launches, starting price Tk 4,200 a month

Starlink has officially launched its satellite-based internet service in Bangladesh, offering unlimited data with speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

Can Starlink finally unlock remote work for Bangladesh?

Starlink's launch in Bangladesh promises stable internet nationwide, enabling remote work from rural areas. With high-speed satellite access, decentralised offices, telemedicine, and digital education become realistic, potentially transforming work culture and easing pressure on urban infrastructure.

Do you really need Starlink? Time to dispense with the myths

Starlink launches in Bangladesh, sparking buzz, but it's no broadband replacement. With high costs, limited mobility, and unsuitable latency for gamers, it's ideal only for remote users lacking fibre access—not urban residents with stable Wi-Fi.
