Residential 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps are offered only in select areas. Starlink describes Standby Mode as a small monthly fee; confirm the current fee in your Starlink account.
Starlink Mini price (checked October 10, 2026)
Starlink’s Roam page lists the Mini Kit for $149 when bought directly (checked October 10, 2026). Tesla North first reported the price from a Starlink email on October 2, 2026 (Tesla North), and the Mobile Internet Resource Center called it the lowest outright price it had seen, $50 below Starlink’s previous $199 direct price (MIRC, October 6, 2026). As of October 10, 2026, Starlink’s page doesn’t label the price as limited-time. MIRC and Notebookcheck report a 12-month installment option of $12.41 a month at 0% APR; check the order page (Notebookcheck). Notebookcheck also says $20 shipping still applies. As of MIRC’s October 6 report, major third-party retailers were still listing the Mini at $249. A service plan is required.
Cameron County, Texas: 50% off Residential
On October 5, 2026, Starlink announced a 50% discount on Residential service plans for the Cameron County area near Starbase (starlink.com/cameroncounty). According to TeslaNorth and Drive Tesla, the terms are:
