Starlink charges $350 for installation and monthly subscription costs ranging from $120 to $500 depending on service tier as of 2026. The service provides satellite internet coverage in areas where fiber and cable options are unavailable, according to Starlink's service map. Monthly costs for competing fiber and cable providers typically range from $50 to $150. Starlink's latency has improved to 20-40 milliseconds in many areas, compared to earlier generations that exceeded 100 milliseconds.
