Starry Internet overview: Fast, affordable internet, no strings attached

Starry Internet is among the next generation of new wireless technologies that support high-speed, low-latency internet connectivity using millimeter-wave bands capable of sending large amounts of data over short distances. That sounds a lot like 5G, and I'd say it's definitely similar -- but Starry doesn't quite bill itself as a 5G home internet provider. Why not? Whereas 5G focuses on mobile, roaming access to the internet, Starry's technology is focused solely on establishing a fixed, targeted connection to your home. Quality of the connection aside, there's much to like about Starry's prices and terms, which eschew contracts, data caps, and arbitrary price increases in favor of a simple, straightforward approach that seems more customer-friendly than much of its more established ISP competitors.  That, along with Starry's plans to expand service to tens of millions of additional homes by the end of 2022, makes this an internet provider worth knowing about -- and worth considering, too, if it's available at your address. Here is a complete rundown of what you should know about Starry's technology and speeds, as well as a close look at the company's plans, prices and terms.
