"Starlink is only for the rich or for big offices!" — that’s what many people think. But actually, that’s not true. With a little effort and some smart planning, even ordinary people in villages — shopkeepers, rickshaw pullers — can use this high-speed internet if they come together as a group.
How is it possible at such a low cost? Let’s break it down:
Starlink’s monthly bill is around 4,200 to 6,000 BDT. That may seem expensive for one person, but if 20 to 25 people share the cost, it becomes very affordable:
Monthly cost per person (if 20 people share):
4,200 ÷ 20 = just 210 BDT!
One-time setup cost (dish, router, etc.):
Around 50,000 BDT (only paid once)
So even a rickshaw puller could use high-speed Wi-Fi by paying just 200–250 BDT per month! Here’s how it works, in simple steps:
1. Install the Starlink dish in an open space with a clear view of the sky.
2. A cable runs from the dish to the Starlink modem.
3. The modem is connected to a Wi-Fi router.
4. The router can spread the internet across 50–200 meters.
5. For wider coverage, higher-range routers or Wi-Fi extenders can be added.
6. Go into the Starlink app and enable “bypass mode” — only needs to be done once.
7. If you want more control, you can use a MikroTik router to manage the network like a small local ISP (there are tutorials on YouTube).
Starlink is no longer just a dream — even someone in a remote village can access fast internet.
All it takes is a little planning and a willingness to work together.
This could be a new chapter in Digital Bangladesh, where everyone stays connected and no one is
left behind in the digital revolution.
