Starlink Unveils Limited $80 a Month Plan in 14 States

WASHINGTON, March 3, 2025 – Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite-delivered Internet service is rolling out a new plan called Residential Lite for $80 a month, a 33% discount on the $120 monthly price for the baseline Residential plan. 

A month ago, Misty Ann Giles, Head of Montana’s ConnectMT broadband office, called Starlink “a luxury option” that “most folks can’t afford.” This new service plan could be the solution to those affordability concerns.

“Starlink ‘Residential Lite’ Service is a more affordable service plan for personal or household-use at a fixed, land-based location in select areas. Users will have an unlimited amount of deprioritized data each month with no long-term contracts,” Starlink said on its website. “There are no data caps and no speed caps. Speeds should range from 50 - 100 Mbps (as compared to 150 - 250 Mbps for the Residential service plan).”
