Starlink Plans: Residential vs. Roam Explained
19 Oct
Summary
- Starlink offers Residential and Roam plans starting at $55 monthly.
- Residential plans focus on fixed locations with speed-based tiers.
- Roam plans cater to mobile users with data caps or unlimited options.
SpaceX's Starlink has refined its satellite internet offerings, now focusing on two primary personal plans: Residential and Roam, both priced at $55 per month. The choice between them hinges on user needs and living situations, as they are not interchangeable.
The Residential plan is intended for permanent home use, providing unlimited data with different speed options. The entry-level plan offers 100 Mbps for $55, suitable for basic household activities. Higher tiers increase speeds to 200 Mbps for $85 or up to 400 Mbps for $130, with professional installation included.
Conversely, the Roam plan is tailored for mobile users, including RV owners, nomads, and international travelers. The $55 tier includes 100GB of high-speed data (up to 300 Mbps) before speeds significantly decrease. Other options include 300GB for $80 or an unlimited option for $175.
Starlink notes that speeds can fluctuate due to network congestion. Customers can check the coverage map and utilize a 30-day trial period for a full refund if unsatisfied with the service.
