Starlink customers are frustrated with price hikes for uplink kits they still haven't received months after paying $100 deposits

In March 2022, SpaceX told its customers it was raising prices because of inflation, among other things. The price of a Starlink uplink kit rose from $500 to $550 for customers that had already paid a $100 deposit for the service, and from $500 to $600 for new customers. The monthly Starlink subscription cost climbed from $99 to $110 for all users, and many are frustrated with Starlink's delays, price hikes and apparent lack of customer service.
