STARLINK PRICES 2026: UK & USA GUIDE
YOUR COMPLETE SATELLITE INTERNET COST BREAKDOWN
THE 2026 PRICING ERA: NEW SATELLITE INTERNET DEALS
As of 16 April 2026, Starlink pricing remains highly location-based. In the UK, qualifying areas can currently see the Residential 100 tier advertised at £25 per month until 30 April 2026. In the USA, Starlink is also currently advertising residential service starting at $35 per month until 30 April 2026 in select areas, while the standard public baseline for Residential 100 otherwise remains $50 per month. Beyond that, the familiar 2026 structure remains in place across the UK and USA, with separate residential, roam, and business priority packages. For a deeper look at real-world performance and value, read our full Starlink 2026 Review.
STARLINK EQUIPMENT & UPFRONT COSTS
Before looking at the Starlink monthly cost for 2026, remember that upfront hardware pricing varies by location, account type, and temporary offer. Taxes, shipping fees, and hardware promotions can change quickly. The most accurate way to confirm your current hardware cost is to enter your address directly on starlink.com.
Pro Tip: In select UK areas, Starlink is currently advertising no upfront hardware cost on eligible residential sign-ups. That should still be treated as postcode-dependent rather than universal. Network changes and local capacity upgrades continue to shape these offers, which is why pricing snapshots can move faster than the underlying service tiers.
UK RESIDENTIAL PLANS: MONTHLY COST 2026
Best for fixed households and rural broadband. These plans are geo-locked to your registered service address. As of 16 April 2026, the standout public change is still the entry-level promo on the 100 Mbps tier for qualifying new customers.

The April promo still cuts Residential 100 to £25/mo in select areas until 30 April 2026. Other main UK public monthly rates remain unchanged.

UK ROAM: STARLINK PRICES FOR TRAVELLING

STARLINK PRICING FAQS
HOW MUCH IS STARLINK PER MONTH IN THE UK?
As of 16 April 2026, UK residential pricing publicly starts at £25 per month in select areas until 30 April 2026. Outside that temporary promo, the main public starting point remains £35 per month for Residential 100, then £55 for Residential 200, and £75 for Residential Max. Roam plans still start from £50 monthly.
HOW MUCH IS STARLINK PER MONTH IN THE USA RIGHT NOW?
As of 16 April 2026, Starlink is publicly advertising residential service from $35 per month until 30 April 2026 in select US areas. Outside that temporary promo, the main US public service-plan structure still shows Residential 100 at $50, Residential 200 at $80, and Residential Max at $120. Roam still starts at $50 monthly.
ARE THE £25 UK / $35 US SATELLITE INTERNET DEALS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE?
No. The current UK £25 Residential 100 offer and the US $35 residential starting price are only shown in specific locations and currently run until 30 April 2026. Even the lower-tier UK and US residential plans remain location-dependent, so always verify availability on the official Starlink map using your postcode or service address.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HIT MY STARLINK ROAM DATA CAP?
If you are subscribed to the Roam 100GB plan (£50 / $50), exceeding your 100GB allowance will result in your connection throttling to unlimited low-speed data until the next billing cycle. Upgrading to Roam Unlimited resolves this.
CAN I BUY A RESIDENTIAL PLAN AND USE IT IN MY CARAVAN?
No. Standard residential plans are locked to your specific home service address. Moving the hardware to a caravan park or campsite will normally break the connection unless you formally update your address, and that may fail if the new area is over capacity. Travelling users need the dedicated Starlink roam price.
SUMMARY: A PLAN FOR EVERYONE IN 2026
Starlink now has a much clearer ladder of plans for fixed homes, travellers, and businesses. The biggest public new-customer shifts as of 16 April 2026 are the UK’s temporary £25 Residential 100 promo and the USA’s temporary $35 residential starting promo in qualifying areas, both currently shown through 30 April 2026. Outside those offers, the standard public lower-tier baselines remain £35 in the UK and $50 in the USA for Residential 100. Always run your postcode or service address through Starlink directly before publishing a final price snapshot, then cross-check with our full Starlink Review for performance context.
