Starlink Doubles Data, But Lowers Speed Post-Cap
14 Jan
Summary
- Starlink's cheapest plan now offers 100GB of data, double the previous amount.
- Exceeding the data cap results in reduced speeds, not service cutoff.
- The upgrade is free for existing subscribers, with no added cost.

SpaceX's Starlink has doubled the monthly data allowance on its cheapest plan, increasing it from 50GB to 100GB for $50 per month. This change, announced recently on Starlink.com, offers existing subscribers enhanced service without any additional cost, maintaining the plan's accessibility.
Following the data cap, users will now experience unlimited low-speed data, with speeds reduced to under 1Mbps. This contrasts with the previous model, where exceeding 50GB incurred extra charges or service interruption. While beneficial for basic connectivity like calls and texts, activities such as streaming will be limited.
The company has also removed the option to purchase additional high-speed data per GB for the Roam plan, directing users needing consistent high speeds beyond 100GB to upgrade to the more expensive Roam Unlimited plan at $165 per month.
