SpaceX is increasing its monthly fees for Starlink subscribers. The price rises cover Starlink’s Residential and Roaming plans in the US, the UK and certain other markets.

SpaceX explained the price rises, noting: “Strong demand for Starlink reflects the value customers continue to see in the service. This adjustment supports ongoing improvements and investment in affordable, high-performance products and services as global operating costs continue to rise.”

New pricing:

Residential:

• 100 Mbps: $55/month ($5 increase)
• 200 Mbps: $85/month ($5 increase)
• 400+ Mbps: $130/month ($10 increase)

Roam:

• 100 GB: $55/month ($5 increase)
• 300 GB: $80/month (no change)
• Unlimited: $175/month ($10 increase)

SpaceX is also doubling the price of Starlink Standby Mode to $10/month (from $5/month). Standby Mode allows users to ‘pause’ their service for a reduced fee while maintaining a, low-speed, 500 Kbps connection for essential, low-bandwidth tasks.

As for UK users, most UK plans will soon rise by £5 extra per month and some features have doubled in price.

Australian users have also risen by about 10 percent (Residential 100 Mb/s goes from A$69 to A$75).
