Starlink Price Drop

I’ve written about Starlink before. I think it’s the best way to get internet in our area, and likely in most remote areas. Directly around here, a T-Mobile hotspot makes sense if you can access the tower by the rural events center.

I thought I paid $599 dollars for my setup of Starlink, but apparently the price has been $499 for a while now. We just got notified that the price has come down to $299 in some areas. I checked, and our area seems to be at that price.

I don’t know if this price is temporary or not, but at $299, it’s a really good price for the Starlink product. It’s still $120/month for the service, but it’s been extremely reliable and the speed has increased over the two years we’ve had it.

Also, I was notified that I can get a ‘mini mobile’ Starlink setup that is a companion to my regular Starlink account. What that gives me, for $499 up front and $30/mo., is a smaller satellite and router setup that I can use when I travel. It’s a neat idea though I doubt I’ll be doing it. Carol and I have been talking about getting the other mobile unit they have, but at $150 a month and another $499 up front, it’s quite spendy, since I’d need to keep the other Starlink.

The mini Starlink gives only 50Gb of data a month, which wouldn’t work for us. We have ‘unlimited’ data with our regular Starlink, so why they think a measly 50Gb would be sufficient is a mystery, but that’s the deal. Since I get 50Gb of data using my phone as a hotspot, that deal is crap, basically. If it were unlimited data, then I would do it, since we have been travelling so much.

There are various plans they offer, but they are prohibitively expensive for us. You can check out their page above to see them all. Maybe they have something that’ll work for you.
