plowunited.net – Starlink has announced a significant price reduction for its US residential satellite Internet plans. The company is lowering the monthly fee for the Residential plan to $69 for new subscribers. The Residential Lite plan, which offers slower speeds between 45 and 130 Mbps, will now cost $65 per month. These discounts mainly apply to new customers in states across the western US, from Texas to North Dakota, and from Maine to Oregon.

Starlink’s standard monthly fee for the Residential plan was previously $120 but was already discounted in some states to $90 or $99. The new $69 price is a notable drop. Especially in areas like North Dakota where this reduced fee is now active. For most other areas where the promotion applies, the fee will be $99 per month.
The discounted subscription applies for one year and only to new customers with a single satellite Internet line. If customers switch to another plan or lose their service, the fee reverts to the original price after the year ends. Starlink is offering this promo in response to varying demand patterns across different US regions. In some states like Washington, high subscriber numbers have led Starlink to introduce congestion fees as high as $1,000 to manage capacity. While prices drop in many areas, some regions face increased costs due to high demand. This pricing strategy reflects Starlink’s goal to balance capacity and attract new users where competition is stronger.
Starlink Halves Standard Dish Price to Boost Adoption
Alongside the subscription cuts, Starlink has also slashed the price of its Standard dish by 50%. Previously reduced from its original cost, the Standard Kit is now available nationwide for just $175. This price cut is the largest difference ever between the Standard and Mini dish prices. The Mini dish is currently discounted on Amazon from its $499 list price, making the Standard Kit an even more affordable option.
Starlink’s price reduction for the Standard dish is part of a limited-time promotion. The company has not disclosed how long this offer will last. However, the discount may remain in place until Starlink reaches its subscriber targets aligned with its increasing network capacity. The company adds roughly 5 terabits per second of capacity weekly by launching new satellites. This pricing move aims to lower the entry barrier for new customers, helping Starlink expand its user base. It also aligns with Starlink’s strategy to manage its network load and fill capacity efficiently.

By reducing both monthly fees and hardware costs, Starlink is making its satellite Internet service more competitive and accessible in key US markets. This approach could accelerate subscriber growth and strengthen Starlink’s position against terrestrial and other satellite Internet providers in the coming year.
