It is possible that people are interpreting this 30 day promotional period as “Starlink offers hurricane survivors $120/mo internet access starting November 2nd”, which would not be factually inaccurate assuming today as the start date of the promotion. $120/mo is roughly double the average broadband cost in e.g. the Asheville area.

I looked into signing up. It was over $300 up front, after the first 30 days waived. No thanks.
It's not a promotion or promotional offer. It's an aid for people who have activation issues.
Starlink service has no contract so you can pause it any time.
