When Purple Cow is the better choice
- Purple Cow cable or fibre is offered at the address.
- You want the $60 cable entry price, which is lower than Starlink Residential 100 at $75 on the service-plans page.
- You want fibre upload where Purple Fibre is actually offered, or you do not want a dish.
