SpaceX is making Starlink more affordable than ever, rolling out new hardware discounts and introducing its lowest-priced internet plan yet.
Starlink Hardware Price Cuts
In the U.S., the Starlink Mini dish now costs US$229, down from $299 — a 54% discount and a new all-time low. The Standard Kit has also been reduced to US$279, down from US$349.
Canadian customers are seeing similar reductions, with the Mini dropping to C$299(from the already discounted C$399) and the Standard Kit to C$399 (from $499).
The discounts follow a steady trend of price cuts in 2025, as SpaceX continues to scale production and expand coverage across North America. The company’s Starlink Mini, introduced earlier this year, is compact enough to fit in a backpack, making it a popular choice for travellers, RV owners, and remote workers.
New $40 Starlink Plan in the U.S.
Alongside the hardware sale, SpaceX has quietly launched a new $40-per-month internet plan in select parts of the U.S., called Residential 100Mbps.
According to the company’s support website, the plan is “a simpler option for smaller households that don’t require the higher throughput” of Starlink’s existing packages. Download speeds are capped at 100 Mbps, but users still get unlimited data and unrestricted upload speeds. (via Reddit)
Starlink says the plan is best suited for 2–3 person homes with everyday needs such as web browsing, video calls, and HD streaming. It’s not designed for heavy data users or households with multiple simultaneous 4K streams and large game downloads.
By comparison, Starlink’s existing Residential Lite and Residential tiers cost US$80 and US$120 per month, offering higher speeds of around 250 Mbps and 400 Mbps respectively.
According to users on Reddit, the plan is only appearing in some markets in the U.S., including parts of Nebraska, Minnesota, and Nevada. Some existing users have reported being able to switch to the new tier through their Starlink accounts if it appears as an available option.
So far the plan is not yet available for Canadian users.
With these latest changes, SpaceX continues its push to make satellite internet accessible to more people worldwide. Earlier this month, the company surpassed 8 million active subscribers globally, with the company adding roughly 14,000 new users per day, signaling accelerating adoption as prices fall and service reliability improves.
