Starlink just rolled out one of its most aggressive promotions yet for new customers in the United States, slashing hardware and monthly plan prices to record lows in select areas. If you’ve been waiting to try satellite internet, this first-year deal could save you up to $992.
What’s on sale
– Standard dish: now $89, down from $349 (a $260 discount)
– Residential plan: $59 per month, down from $120 (50% off)
– Residential Lite plan: $49 per month in select locations, down from $80
– Lite offers unlimited data but is deprioritized during network congestion
Key details and fine print
– New subscribers only and for the first year of service
– Starlink notes that terms and duration can change
– Changing your plan (for example, switching to Standby Mode or Roam) or canceling during the promo period may forfeit your discounted pricing
– Estimated savings: $732 on the Residential plan over a year, plus $260 off the dish, for up to $992 total

Why this matters
Hardware discounts aren’t unusual, but cuts this deep on monthly service are rare. After testing lower monthly pricing earlier this year, this promotion marks the steepest combo of dish and plan discounts seen in the US so far. For households in rural or underserved areas, the lower upfront cost and reduced first-year rates make Starlink more approachable than ever.
Bottom line
– Best for new customers who can lock in the first-year rate without changing plans
– The $89 dish plus $59 Residential or $49 Residential Lite (where available) is an exceptional entry point
– Act quickly if you’re eligible—availability depends on local network capacity, and terms can change without notice
If reliable broadband options are limited where you live, this could be the most cost-effective time to try Starlink’s satellite internet.
