If you put a 7 Ton AC in a house that needs 2T in summer, it's not going to work then either. It's certainly possible to do this with ductless split units in every room, but anything with ductwork that you're expecting to retrofit a heat pump into, in a climate where it gets very cold in winter is going to be very expensive if you want to avoid ever having the electric furnace turn on. And this is a hard sell to people who have had a gas furnace in their home.

Its so bizarre.. We actually use these, because they work across Android/iOS/PC devices, but it's difficult to keep up.

Hangouts we could text, voice, video chat, and it it was great. I'm not even sure what app I'm supposed to use for what anymore and I just hope they don't cancel it before I figure it out.

Its a fair question though.. And according to TFA, the answer is only the rich can afford this.

Thereâ(TM)s one argument against Starlink, though: itâ(TM)s expensive. At $110 (~â¦60,500) for preorder â" also its monthly price â" and $599 (~â¦330,000) for a full kit, including a terminal, mounting tripod, and Wi-Fi router, Starlinkâ(TM)s price is pricey for the average Nigerian â" and Mozambique user. Its premium service costs about $2,500 (~â¦1.375 million) for the full kit and $500 (~â¦275,000) monthly.
