Starlink has made some changes to its Residential internet offerings in the U.S., bringing back its most affordable home internet tier at a higher monthly price and introducing a clearer, three-tier lineup aimed at different usage needs.
The satellite internet provider has brought back its Residential 100 Mbps plan, now priced at $50 per month, up from its initial launch price of $40 per month last November. This plan is the most budget-friendly option for fixed home internet in the U.S., but availability is limited to regions with excess network capacity, with no public coverage map available to check eligibility. Currently, the option has been spotted in parts of Nebraska, Nevada, Indiana, and Maine for those signing up directly through Starlink’s website.
The Residential 100 Mbps plan offers unlimited data, but download speeds are capped at 100 Mbps. Despite the price increase, it remains tied with Starlink’s base Roam plan as the company’s most affordable offering overall. Additionally, Starlink recently doubled the data allowance on its entry-level Roam plan from 50GB to 100GB at no extra cost.
In addition to bringing back the 100 Mbps tier, Starlink has revamped its Residential lineup to include three plans. The top-tier option is Residential Max, priced at $120 per month, offering perks such as a complimentary Router Mini for mesh Wi-Fi, a Starlink Mini dish available for free rental for travel, and a 50% discount on Roam subscriptions. The middle-tier plan, now called Residential 200 Mbps, maintains its $80 monthly price but reduces maximum speeds from 250 Mbps to 200 Mbps.
Existing customers who choose to upgrade to Residential Max will gain access to the new benefits, but downgrading may result in losing those perks and potentially incurring charges for the Starlink Mini rental. In areas with high network congestion, Starlink seems to only be offering Residential Max, sometimes with a one-time “demand surcharge.”
These changes come as Starlink continues to grow rapidly, with over 9.2 million users worldwide and recent approval from the FCC to double its next-generation satellite constellation. As capacity expands and pricing strategies evolve, Starlink’s Residential plans are constantly evolving to meet the needs of its users.
