- SpaceX cuts into Starlink internet hardware by 50%! I predicted this day would come many months ago. I said unlike ALL other IPSs (Internet Service Providers) that only know how to increase their prices over time, Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink would be different. As SpaceX Starlink becomes more profitable and begins to understand the market and what its potential customers are willing to pay, Starlink's prices will go down. This is exactly what is happening today.
Do you currently have Starlink?
If not, will this massive price reduction entice you to make the move?
What is a perfect monthly fee you would like to see?

Drop the monthly fee down.
Consider that monthly fee you are paying, you are helping the humanity to reach Mars...is worthy to pay it
Considering what one gets from other companies for a similar price, that monthly fee is fine, would not mind it being cheaper but it is completely doable as it is.
No, Starlink is taking advantage of Americans. Look at the fees for other countries. The price is not commensurate with the level-of-service for fixed service application. While waiting for Starlink, fiber was run to my very rural address. My 1 Gig fiber service that consistently runs closer to 2 Gig is just under HALF what I am paying for my grandfathered residential Starlink plan with portability. At my home address, Starlink bandwidth is horrendous during peak hours when I need it to work so I cannot rely on it at home. When I'm traveling in our RV and working, it works great... Funny thing, Starlink claims my area is congested, but that's suspect as rarely do I see another Dishy and the entire county now has fiber access at lower cost!
@@robv4053 not what i experience at all, used to have comcast and starlink is superior to that by far, perhaps you are blaming a company for the effects of other customers that display hive mind tendencies?
This is most important. No biggie on the gear cost. Drop the monthly in half and I’ll jump in that pool…
I'm in Halifax Canada and the monthly fee is what's killing me. That's what needs to drop.
It's the monthly fee that is keeping starlink from being competitive
Point well taken.
Before Starlink I had nothing. Tried hughsnet and after 6 months I told them to shove it. I was paying $90 a month for that crap, and paid the penalty to turn it off. Even at 120 a month Starlink was a god send for me.
Competitive? I have used the competition… and you get what you pay for… I’ll be honest. With the other satellite services I was paying near as much and running out of data halfway through the month just watching RUclips and a few streaming shows
Agreed. Fiber and cable are cheaper and often very high bandwidth, but maybe that crowded urban market is not what starlink is targeting. In rural areas you can expect to pay more for the infrastructure.
BTW, one way starlink can compete better is to bundle some TV channel options. With NBA and RUclips TV my bill was almost $100 a month...add your other subscriptions and it's getting ridiculous.
@@jonathannumer5415 Agree. I think the issue is not competitivenss. The issue is affordability. Even if they have no competition, some people just can't afford it. Actually, they can probably do some kind of pricing variation. For example, if your income is low, you get a low income discount. This way, they can add more subscriblers without dropping the price.
Cut the monthly charge by 50%!
I wouldn't mind paying $1000 for the hardware if the monthly cost is like $50.
Exactly! I have the hardware from the early beta but I left when they hiked the price and the speeds were still abysmal. At $50-60ish, I''d pay to have it as a backup.
i agree, $50-$60 would get me to sign up.
IKR, meanwhile we're being notified that the Starlink monthly price will increase, while having paid full price for the hardware.
I paid $2500 and $250 a month and service is just still too slow. I dropped to the 140 a month plan starting soon as I can’t justify $250 with 50 pings and 100 Mb download and 15 up. Honestly it’s just not what was promised nor expected at any point.
As a disabled person on a fixed income I agree that not only does the hardware cost has to come down, but especially the monthly fee has to drop to get it into my small budget.
Agree.
Been a customer for several years when it was first available in my area,but I'm tired of paying these high monthly fees.I'll give them till August and I'm dropping them if no price reduction
In my current location, DSL is all that is available. Current speed is 20mbps plus phone service for which we pay close to the amount Starlink charges. The cost of the hardware is pretty much the only thing preventing me from going with Starlink. If they dropped the price for that, plus lowered the monthly charge, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. We're supposed to be having fiber installed in the area, which could theoretically deliver higher speeds, but I think we're way down the priority list.
@@mitchstanley6382not happening brother
You right I don’t mind paying 700$ hardware as long the drop the monthly fee I do
I don’t care about the upfront hardware cost….its the monthly fee that I can’t swallow.
The monthly rates for their services is what’s important now to me. $120.00 a month is crazy high for me. Fiber is available now at my place. $60 a month for 3 years. While I’ve appreciated and loved Starlink switching is a no-brainer.
I like $60/mo Maybe $90 once the speeds and latency are more consistent.. We will see!
If you have Fiber, Starlink makes no sense.
Fiber is an invisible beast at my rural mountaintop. I'll bag it and mount it as soon as seen, combined WISP and Starlink speeds until then!
@@LegendaryInfortainment likewise.
I just found out that they ran fiber in my neck of the woods a few months ago. $50/mo for 100/100. That is really more than I need. However, I will ask around about the provider. Historically they've had outages....something that is VERY rare with Starlink.
Let's have $299.00 for us in NC.
I agree the monthly fee needs to come down also. For me $50.00 or $60.00 is about right.
I paid the $599/$120. Now that there are more people an satellites lets drop the monthly 50% and allow phone service also to earlier subscribers.
Oh ya.
Tough luck. Should the people who bought teslas at the peak in fall 2022 get a refund since the prices dropped by 20% within months?
I wish they would drop the monthly some
🚀
Cut the monthly by 50%
I agree on the price. 80 or 85 a month would be reasonable. Retired and living on a lot less money 120 a month stings a bit. You hear us Elon!
Yes.
Yes.
Xfinity by ComCast is approx $120/mo and if ComCast isn’t available near you and Starlink gets you near that performance level for the same price in a rural area then I personally would t complain. Because that’s my precise situation.
First off, I love my 2-year+ service from Starlink. Being in rural ar$ea without even cable TV, it has been about the only viable service for us. Fiber cable is being installed in our area as I type and should be available for service in a month or two at a rate of $69.95 a month vs. my $120/mo. with Starlink (I started out at $99.00/mo.). The question is whether Starlink is worth $50.00 / mo. more than Fiber? Please reduce the monthly fee, Starlink!!
I'm in the same boat as most commenters in wanting lower monthly cost. The people that have been with Starlink from the early days need some love to, you listening Elon??
Agreed!
I paid 600. But it’s totally been worth it. Works all the time every time even on bad weather days. I can’t say that about my former provider. Additionally, the router works all the way out to the edge of my orchard. I just love this product.
They dropped in Mozambique 1 month ago. That is really something… the competition is furious. Starlink service is amazing, I got my starlink one year ago, and there’s no turning back
Awesome!!!!
What's the monthly fee there in Mozambique? It's $45 here in Ecuador.
@@GarySchiltz the only price that double the fee was the mobile version
I have Starlink, love it, but it would be great to reduce the monthly fee.
Oh ya.
I already have the hardware I need the monthly subscription reduced. Thank you for all your reporting. I really appreciate it. I put all my trust in you when it comes to Starlink.
They need to lower the monthly price for everyone to below $85 or less. Tthen I'd buy..
I agree that the more important cost is the monthly fee which is more that twice what a wired connection costs in my area.
As a senior i cant afford it,even with price drop😢
I took advantage of the $349.00 price 2 weeks ago. I have it installed in northern. Arizona and am seeing down load speeds in the 280-325 range. I am very pleased.
Just need to get the monthly price down to around $85. Love the service and thankful for it. Need a full pipe mount, not just a bracket, but a full bracket.
I refuse to sign up with star link until they drop their monthly fee by 50%. Their rates are ridiculous. I love the idea of star link, but I am not willing to waste my money.
$75/mo work?
If you have other, better choices you're not a Starlink customer.
I would absolutely pay $75 a month. We own a travel trailer and like to camp frequently. Most campgrounds don’t have any service. It’s just been disappointing that there was talk of the monthly fees decreasing as more satellites and subscribers increased. It seems the price just keeps going up. Thank you for all your videos. They are very helpful.
Great idea to lower the front end ... Wish they would lower the monthly
🚀
Thanks!
Thank you for your support and kindness. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thanks for the content -
Thank you for being here.
I must wonder if you and Elon haven’t had a chat. Your speculation on Starlink plans is amazingly accurate.
Still your opinion is one of the best out there.
You are so kind. I wish I could say I’ve met Elon but sadly I have not. Admire what he is doing since day one though. Maybe one day. My wife has met him though. 😂
Yessir I certainly agree, Starlink does need to lower their monthly subscription fees…even if it’s only a $10 drop. We live in the middle of nowhere and our only options for internet is Hughesnet and Starlink. Choosing Starlink was a simple decision, I just wish the price was a little lower.
Personally I’d rather pay $600 for equipment and have a lower monthly subscription fee than pay $200 for the equipment and have to continue paying the $120. It may not make sense to others for me wanting that, but look at it this way….im planning on staying with Starlink for the next 6, 8, 10 years or longer. By paying a little lower monthly fee I’ll be saving quite a bit by the time 6 years has passed. I’m in it for the long haul….UNLESS something cheaper and more reliable comes along. I live on a fixed income and it doesn’t allow me any extra cash for anything….so I’m going to do whatever I have to in order to make my life a little easier.
Thank you for keeping us in the loop sir, may God bless your family with abundance!
Sincerely,

Thank you so much for your kindness and for contributing to the community.
I paid $599 for my hardware about a year ago. I wish I would’ve waited a year to get the lower price here in Florida. I agree with you, I’d love to see a reduced monthly price for the service in states like ours, FL, where we have plenty of service. $90/mon, or less, would be a great price in my book!
Very tempting to get!
At $120/month, Starlink has reached my pain point. This is about the maximum I’m willing to spend. I’d hate to have to go back to 4G internet but if they decide to raise monthly fee probably end up going that route.
How about $400(or less) for the "kit" and $100/month for service. I live in West Chester, OH and have fiber available, BUT we have a vacation home in south central OH, which currently has Viasat. We checked and Verizon/Earthlink available IF we string 3/4 mile of new phone lines or fiber for at least $800. Starlink would be an option for a "reasonable price".
Well I purchased my starlink a year ago. ARIZONA But of course I pay $150 on a mobile monthly fee. Would be nice to have that dropped.
I just ordered my Gen2 dish, new, for 7,521.40 LPS = $300, in Roatan Honduras.
I did MISS the area's initial introductory event at the end of 2023.
I just received word the package is on the island. We will run down island to pick it up at the shippers.
Love your content, and appreciate the insight provided.
Thanks for your continued updates. Just bought at home depot & used 10% veteran discount $ 449. Waiting for delivery. Sadly I am in Virginia & no Discount offered . Hope to use residential plan & see future price lowering!
That will actually increase their revenue. They need to drop the monthly price. Elon said originally that was the plan. Instead, the monthly price increased by 20%.
Excellent stuff bro
Thank you kindly.
I'm a trucker. If Starlink can get the Roam monthly bill down to $100, I will likely switch. That's what I'm paying for effectively "unlimited" LTE data across multiple carriers. (Friends with family plans...) I'm really looking forward to the mini dish.
Would be nice. They will start with residential discounts first. Might see roaming go down after. Fingers crossed.
I wish they would lower their monthly fees for internet.
New and subbed. Very interested in learning more and possibly replacing my cable.
When they come out with a senior or veteran discount, then I'll consider it. The monthly rate is still high, too. Another $20 a month off will probably buy more brand loyalty and be about what I pay Spectrum now.
Love it.
I bought mine 1 week ago at $499. I just checked the Starlink site and now it's offered at $299 for my area. Bad timing.
It will be good if the $120 monthly fee is reduced and the rainy weather performance improves.
Personally, I hadn't had any issues with rain or snow with my system. We've had some intense T- Storms the past 4 days with heavy rain and hail. The built in heater worked great over the winter for the 8 feet of snow we got all together from Nov - April.
Now, I do live at 9200 feet on a mountain in Colorado. Admittedly, it's like a different planet up here and that may play a factor for my situation.
I haven't had any drop in performance even during a torrential tropical rain here in Ecuador. Rock solid.
I think the monthly fee is also a big hurdle for a lot of people. If they could get it down to $80/month for at home service, it would still be a bit more then other broadband service but much more affordable. The price needs to be just high enough to keep people that have other broadband options from soaking up all the capacity that rural people need.
Living below the 49th parallel but in Canada, I {and - I'm sure - thousands of others in my situation} would appreciate news and advice pertinent and available to us also. There is a good market here, specifically on Vancouver Island. Keep up the good and much appreciated work.
The monthly charges are painful for Canadian customers. I tell others and people say. Forget it. I have no choice so I pay the huge monthly costs.
The monthly cost of $120 is the problem for spreading more the dish is a one time payment
if no news is good news - not really.
Because Starlink news is the BEST news
if it comes from JCristina !
Thank you for keeping us up to date ! !
The Monthly cost made me ditch them for Verizon 5G home internet as soon as it was available. Not the startup price. So not sure how they get more people with this since they will still be paying higher prices.
You are correct in your assessment. Space-X Starlink Systems are like razors. You have to pay for the system (the Razor). However, Starlink makes its money on the Razor Blades (the monthly subscription). $299.00 would be my limit now because I really don't need it -- it would be a nice to have, but I have pretty good internet. If I really needed it, maybe $399.00 for the system. But what is the monthly subscription. There are many remote areas in the U.S. that need this service. I am an American that moved to the Philippines. There are many places here that could use Starlink. However, $599 would be way out of their price range. I think $299 would be the max they could pay here, unless you are one of the few fortunate people. Those with money live in the big cities here, and they have good internet.
It’s the monthly fee that scares people… can charge whatever he wants for the upfront hardware but that £75 !!! It’s hard to swallow
Great! What’s the catch?
The frightening thing is that the moment Starlink see's an opportunity to raise prices they will.
The "No Pricing Contract" thing means they can take advantage of any kind of situation.
I have starlink and love it. Price cuts would be very welcome though but very happy with starlink
I am in Connecticut. The price drop is attractive. $200.00 would be a winner. Great show; as usual.
👍🏻👍🏻
It was last August when I got Starlink. I sure wish I knew about this before because I would have waited, but I'm sure no one did until now. They actually upped my monthly fee by $10.00. Still the best internet I can get where I live, but it sure would have helped getting it for half price.
I'm a vacation RV'er looking at purchasing backup internet access when I'm in areas that VZW is poorly represented. I'd snatch up a Roam in a hot minute if the price was ~$350 and the monthly membership was under $100 bucks (while retaining the ability to pause). $499 (current pricing) is better than $599, but that monthly charge is awful even if I can pause it.
Especially in light of my using the service for a week or so per month that I'd light it up; we don't RV full time or for weeks consecutive at a time. $150 for a long weekend or a week or two tops is quite spendy.
I’m ok with the buy in, I want the monthly subscription to go back to the $99
Oh ya.
People are dropping their service as used ones are for sale on several platforms. The price cut is to draw in replacement customers. The monthly fees are a tad high.
I'm guessing an increase subscribes by Dec 31st this year of an 500,000+ to over 4 Million
I paid $199.00 for the Starlink ver2 kit 14 months ago and have just ordered a Starlink ver3 kit for $599.00 getting shipped from the South Island to the North Island with only 3 kits left in stock out of the 3 big retailers here in NZ.
Will keep ya updated with sale price of ver2 and performance difference if any with the ver3.
Thanks for the info. This is a great for some of new customers. I concur with your thoughts on monthly payment. Elon definitely thought about those folks whom would possibly milk the new discounted price. A smart man. lol 😂
I'm confused why folks are saying 120 is too high. I had viasat for the same cost and a fraction of the capability. Of course I would love it cheaper but it is very reasonable compared to similar systems.
Yep. How about their Cellphone Bill and $1200 iPhone ? 😂
Viasat is not a Low Earth Orbit provider, and as such has an average of 600 ms latency (per Wikipedia). Average latency for Starlink is closer to 40 ms. I think 600 ms would make Viasat nearly useless for VOIP such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger voice, or Apple Facetime.
@@GarySchiltz I agree. My point was only that they charge as much or more for lower quality service.
Have drop outs since day one. Unreliable for streaming and playing games etc. Yet they increased the price
Informative
Blessings. Thank you.
I recently purchased the Starlink service in a rural area in NC while the price was at $399. This price was available only for residential customers. I just need the service for when we are at our cabin. Unfortunately, you are unable to pause your service when on a residential plan. Not sure if this was just for this this offer, but I confirmed it when reading the fine details. Looks like the pause option is only available with the roaming plan. Just want to clarify when it is said the you can pause your service whenever you want.
Their monthly pricing hasn't dropped. That is the deal breaker for me.
My usage would be in my camper. I have used AT&T SIM in my equipment which cost me about $60 per month for 25gB with an added $10 for each 2gB over. At the end of the camping season they don’t have a pause option so it’s terminate the service. Then start from scratch the next season.
If Starlink were to sell the v4 for $300 here in Wisconsin for Roaming, I’d get it. It would be wonderful if they would reduce their charge below $150 per month. The deal isn’t available for me anyway so I’ll just wait til it is.
Where's the mini dish ? I'm in when they come out with that !!
I've taken the opportunity to upgrade my internet to Starlink, allowing me to watch RUclips in 2160p resolution, a vast improvement from 240p. While satellite internet can be costly due to its infrastructure, I hope the monthly fees don't increase any further.
it would be interesting to see when/if they come as a service to offer a back WAN price. I have cable internet but would like to have starlink as a backup if the monthly price was in the right spot.
I paid 599 and I am still HAPPY! Go SPACE X 🙂
I live in central Canada My neighbour has starlink for a couple years now He likes it ! Im still thinking about getting it but price matters ! Even though my provider is ripping me off , it's still half the price of starlink ! He's got competition here in canada and he's losing buisness while Northern Canada is spreading Fibre Optic all over Canada right to the Arctic ! Hurry up Elon lower those prices in Canada if you want a piece of that big juicy pie !
Was thinking of dropping my Starlink. The lag with online gaming lately has been terrible. That along with the latest crazy price increase is out of control and not worth the small speed increase over my local wireless internet imho.
just ordered it
Congrats!
@@jcristina im going from a phone hotspot that gets as high as 7mbps to starlink for pc gaming, cant wait to play some real games🤣
Great to see cost of entry reducing. May try to get my dad on now. Monthly rate still an issue for some vs. limited terrestrial alternatives.
Monthly is an issue for many
I signed up at $110/month and it quickly went up to $120. $599 for hardware. Drop the monthly charges for those of us that jumped on the bandwagon early and helped support and grow Starlink.
I live in SE OK and am interested in Starlink but couldn't afford the initial price. This price reduction is a game changer for me. I do need to cut down some trees on the south side of the house to facilitate a more clear sky in that area but will start on that project and check the ability to get connectivity with the Starlink app I downloaded from their website. If that suffices, I will definitely purchase the system. A reduction in monthly fee would be the icing on the cake for me. My area is almost devoid of any other internet access options as I am in a near dead zone for cell coverage and the other satellite companies cannot provide decent speeds despite their over inflated ads suggesting otherwise. Thanks for the heads up on this amazing news.
The map seems to resemble when there was a wait list. It looks like those states that were on the waitlist are those not included in the discount.
I was trying for the last week to get the $349 kit deal, last night they listed the price at $299 and I pulled the trigger and purchased the new kit.
This is my second kit, the first was 2 years ago for $599 for my house in the PA mountains, this kit will be for my RV just hopefully I can switch to ROAM without having to pay a penalty .
Starlink service has always been intriguing to me, but the upfront cost, and the fact - at least in the beginning - that you had to have a static location to mount your hardware is what kept me away from it.
As it is now, I'm paying about 65 a month for service (which includes a 10 a month hardware fee - I don't own it), and I'm getting great speeds with damned near zero latency. So, while Starlink is intriguing, to me, those price points are still not enough to make me want to take the plunge.
You Need to put "Hardware" in Your Title.....The MONTHLY FEE is what is KRAZY....
Got mine new for $299 (canadian money) in Canada a year ago.
If you are old enough, you'll remember VCRs hit the market at $500-++ when first released.
also .... Sony Betamax was a super expensive machine in the 1970's
you didn't need to pay $120/month to use it though. It was a pay once and done. Our machine lasted 9 years and by then 4 head and stereo units were available for $400-500.
Man, you had me excited. No one cares about the upfront cost vs the monthly. Starlink needs to be at least what we pay for FiOS or cable. 80 is the most I’ll spend per month. I’ll pay the 599 for the hardware
My speed has dropped more than 50% but so far I am still paying full price. If the monthly fee doesn't follow suite the competition will get my business as soon as they offer same monthly plan for less. They are giving better and better plans as time progresses. My father pays 66% of what I do and gets 3 times the speed in the city.
Ouch.
My problem now isn't price, it's the fact that they dropped the system that would automatically track for the best signal. I am 74 (a market segment that is growing) and I am not getting up on my roof to readjust the antenna. I would have to get a technician of some sort to get up on roof to adjust the antenna. Not sure if I can even get one. I want the system. Not sure what to do.
Well I definitely can't sell mine used for $400 now like I saw lots of others going for recently after I got fiber available. Having a biz helps ease the pain since you can write off that hardware. I'll still keep it for sure for redundancy since I can pretty much turn it back on in an instant should my Fiber get cut and go offline. Fairly common in my neck of the woods in Central Wisc where I work as that happens yearly during construction season.
Monthly fee drop would be a deal maker 😇😎
👍🏻👍🏻
We’ve been enjoying Starlink in the Caribbean (DR) for the last 2+ years, paying ~$60/mo and consistently getting average over 230mbps up and 30mbps down in our rural area! It’s a world-level game-changer! Starting to see the new V4 “dishes” mounted on vehicles, too! I think we’re getting multiple slices of that pie on the daily! Less expensive (and infinitely more robust) than the uber-spotty 3G (sometimes 5G) cellular - or even fiber - options available throughout the country!
200 for the hardware and 50 for subscription
$50 is the pain threshold for monthly!
I would love to get it but I'm not paying $599 and $120/mo. I'm in Illinois and I don't need it that bad. I simply can't justify the high price.
I watched your video the other day - note I just ordered Starlink and paid full price. I also live in Iowa so I reached out to support and asked should I cancel and reorder to get the discount or? They responded back and gave me a 300 dollar credit on future payments once I activate my system. Thanks for the info!
Yep. I knew that would work. Customer service is great!
I just checked in my area, and it is $499 plus $20 shipping then $150/month.
There are areas in the United States where service is either not available or there is a waitlist. For example, near Marysville, Washington, a block has switched from available to waitlist. I'd guess that the density of users has exceeded the capacity in that area. There is an area near Brewster, Washington, where no known service date is posted.
The availability is dynamic. When an area reaches a capacity threshold, it flips to waitlist.
Australia had this for rural customers years ago it was $199A for rural people
Oh ya. USA is behind.
I'm in AZ and I'm interested in having one to use on frequent camping excursions. If I can turn it on and off (billing), it's a no brainer.
I’m in Cali and thinking about finally thinking of getting the 4th gen. I have the second gen right now and just might make that my roaming one.
Me too
@@jcristina Well I pulled the trigger… with taxes and the pole adapter and shipping costs, grand total was $418. Hopefully the speeds are faster than my second gen. I usually get 25-125.
I want to be part of the Starlink family. I want one share of stock with my new mini system. 100 dollar is too much for a monthly charge. I use about 200 gigibytes A month, that cost an extra 60.00 a month on my phone bill
