🌐 Starlink in Dinajpur: Is It Better Than Fiber Internet?
As Starlink begins operations in some rural parts of Bangladesh, people in Dinajpur are starting to ask: Should I switch to Starlink or stick with fiber? While satellite internet may sound futuristic, it’s not always the best choice — especially when high-speed fiber from RapidNet is already available with extra services built-in.
Let’s explore how Starlink compares to RapidNet in terms of speed, reliability, cost, and bonus features that Starlink simply doesn’t offer.
🛰 What Is Starlink?
Starlink is a satellite internet service by SpaceX, connecting homes via a dish antenna that talks to satellites orbiting Earth. It’s useful for extremely remote areas, but can’t match fiber in performance, consistency, or cost-efficiency — especially in areas like Dinajpur town, Parbatipur, Chirirbandar, Birganj, and surrounding regions where RapidNet fiber is already deployed.
