Starlink for home

Chicago families are fed up. Cable companies cap data at 1-1.2TB monthly, then charge $10-15 per 50GB overage. Stream one movie per week? You'll hit the cap by mid-month and pay $50-100 in overages. Work from home with video calls? Data overage charges spike.

There's a better way: Starlink installation.

DishNinjas provides Starlink installation in Chicago with unlimited data, fast speeds, and zero overage charges.


Chicago's Cable Data Cap Problem Is Real

Comcast (the dominant Chicago provider) charges $30 overage fees for going 50GB over their 1.2TB cap. A Chicago family streaming 2-3 hours daily, gaming, and working from home hits that cap in 15-20 days.


Here's the math:

  • Cable: $120/month + $30-100 overage fees = $150-220/month

  • Starlink: $120/month unlimited = $120/month

  • Annual savings: $360-1,200

Plus you get faster speeds and more reliable service.


The Cable Company Won't Tell You This

Your cable company measures data caps like airlines measure baggage—they get you to buy the service at one price, then hit you with overage fees. Starlink doesn't play that game.


Starlink installation in Chicago includes:

  • Unlimited data (truly unlimited)

  • No overage charges

  • No speed throttling

  • 99%+ uptime

  • 100-200+ Mbps speeds
