About Starlink

Unlike traditional geostationary satellite, Starlink’s low-orbit constellation delivers 25–60 ms latency — low enough for video calls and most gaming — with real-world downloads commonly 100–280 Mbps. It has become the default answer for rural addresses beyond cable and fiber. Capacity is managed per coverage cell, so pricing and waitlists can vary by market.

Starlink — frequently asked questions

Is Starlink available in my area?

Yes — Starlink shows availability in all 31,409 U.S. ZIP codes in FCC filings. The practical question is capacity: some cells have waitlists or demand-based pricing. Check your exact address on the map or call us to compare it against wired options.

How much does Starlink cost in 2026?

Residential service now starts around $50/mo for the 100 Mbps tier, $80 for 200 Mbps, and $120 for Max with unlimited data. The standard kit is $349 one-time, or about $10/mo to rent in most markets.

Is Starlink better than HughesNet or Viasat?

For most homes, yes — Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit network delivers far lower latency (25–60 ms vs 600+ ms) and higher typical speeds. GEO providers can still win on entry price. If cable or fiber reaches your address, those usually beat all satellite options.
