Question 1

How fast are the Starlink residential plans on average, and what do they cost?

Accepted Answer

Starlink says that you can expect a speed between 25-225 Mbps with latency around 20–40 ms, a notable improvement for rural locations. However, what we’re used to seeing as professional installers, considering there are little to no obstructions, you should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 170 Mbps – 300 Mbps. That is based on a nationwide average using over 3,200 installs as examples.
There are now 3 residential plans to choose from – The Residential unlimited plan for $120 (up to 400+ Mbps download) per month, the Residential Lite plan (up to 250+ Mbps download) for $80 per month, and the newly added Residential 100 Mbps plan for $40 per month. In either event, you can pause, reactivate, upgrade, or downgrade whenever you choose.

Question 2

How fast are the Starlink business plans on average, and what do they cost per month?

Accepted Answer

Starlink’s business plans typically deliver speeds of 300-450 Mbps from device to internet and 450-900 Mbps from device to router in optimal conditions. While these speeds are not Starlink’s official estimates, they reflect what we commonly see during installations with no obstructions.

The Flat High Performance hardware is currently $1,500.

The newest Starlink Performance Kit ($2,000) features an aluminum enclosure and supports AC and DC power, making it ideal for remote areas, harsh weather zones, and in-motion connectivity.

Whether you’re operating a construction site, managing a farm, or running a business in a rural region, Starlink provides enterprise-grade speeds and uptime you can count on. The system is built for 10-year survivability, backed by a 3-year warranty, and ready to handle whatever nature throws your way.

With download speeds up to 400+ Mbps, and network enhancements expected to enable gigabit speeds in 2026 — no hardware upgrade required.

Choose a plan that matches your usage level:

Local Priority 50 GB
Ideal for low-bandwidth needs such as point-of-sale systems, light file transfers, or emergency backup connections. For seamless service, enable automatic overage to stay online after reaching your 50 GB cap.

Local Priority 2 TB

Question 9

I'd like to install Starlink on my vehicle. Which Starlink KIT is best for in-motion use?

Accepted Answer

If you would like to install Starlink on your vehicle or boat, determining what Starlink system is best for in-motion use depends on your needs. A Starlink Mini will get you around 100Mbps download, while a Flat High Performance KIT, or the new Performance Gen 3 KIT will get you significantly higher download and upload speeds. Other determining factors are things like; do you need it for your car, truck, sprinter van, earth mover, or RV? The reason that is important is because the modem is built into the Starlink Mini, so a router is not necessary if you will be mounting to a sunroof with a suction cup mount however, if you plan on mounting on top of your roof and placing a barrier of metal between the dish and inside of your vehicle, then installing a router inside the vehicle is essential for better signal. For the Flat High Performance, and new Performance Gen 3, a router is not optional – you need one for them to function.
