\"Elon Musk\'s high-speed satellite internet experiment is finally taking off.\
\
The Starlink satellites from SpaceX will start to connect users to WiFi this week. CNBC reported Tuesday that SpaceX emails about pricing for early users went out Monday .\
\
According to the documents CNBC viewed, Starlink service will be \$99 per month. There\'s also an upfront \$499 charge for a starter kit that includes the equipment necessary to connect --- a terminal, tripod, and WiFi router. We reached out to SpaceX for confirmation on pricing, but didn\'t hear back.\
\
As for the service provided, CNBC reports that the emails lay out expected broadband data speeds from 50 megabits per second to 150 Mb/s with 20 milliseconds to 40 ms latency as the system is established and improved.\"\
