Starlink has implemented a $10 monthly rental fee for hardware, moving away from its previous model of one-time hardware sales. The updated residential ordering pages indicate an upfront hardware cost of $0, with the monthly kit fee applicable in addition to internet service prices. Recently, Starlink increased its internet service prices by $5 to $10 per month, with current rates at $55 for 100Mbps, $85 for 200Mbps, and $130 for the Max tier, which offers speeds up to 400Mbps. A professional installation service is available for a one-time fee of $199, or at no additional charge for Max plan subscribers.
