SpaceX Introduces Budget Starlink “100 Mbps” Plan — Now Available in Australia and Canada

New lower-cost satellite internet tier offers capped speeds and unlimited data as Starlink expands global affordability
SpaceX has quietly rolled out its cheapest Starlink plan — “Residential 100 Mbps” — to parts of Australia and Canada, offering households a lower-cost entry to satellite broadband.

The new plan caps download speeds at 100 Mbps but retains unlimited data and uncapped uploads, making it a potentially attractive option for smaller households or light-to-moderate internet users.

([Starlink][1]) In the United States, Starlink lists the Residential 100 Mbps plan at USD 40 per month, significantly below the USD 80 and USD 120 monthly fees for its Residential Lite and full Residential plans, respectively.

([Starlink][2]) The company’s global service-plan page confirms the 100 Mbps tier remains available only in select areas, underlining that availability may vary depending on regional network capacity.

([Starlink][1]) Local Australian sources have begun seeing the plan appear as an option, with the rollout reportedly extending to certain addresses across the country.

([gearmusk.com][3]) Industry observers note the move may help Starlink secure subscribers in suburban or rural regions where fixed-line broadband remains expensive or limited.

The capped 100 Mbps speed — though lower than the 250–400 Mbps typical of higher-tier Starlink plans — is still adequate for everyday tasks such as browsing, video calls and HD streaming.

([gearmusk.com][3]) The new plan aligns with broader trends in satellite internet and connectivity services shifting toward tiered pricing, offering consumers more flexibility depending on household size and bandwidth demands.

Early reactions suggest this affordable entry option could appeal strongly to budget-conscious users or those in areas underserved by traditional broadband.

For now, the rollout remains gradual — prospective subscribers are advised to check availability directly on Starlink’s website.
