star link
is revising all of its tariffs upwards in the United States. In France, only the starting amount increases; the monthly subscription is spared for now.
Obviously, inflation also affects the Starlink Internet offer. For customers located in the United States, the bill increases both during commissioning and on the monthly bill. In France, the price of the subscription remains unchanged at the time of writing these lines, but the initial amount to pay to obtain the material is well on the rise.
A substantial increase
Across the Atlantic, the cost of getting the starter kit was $499 so far. The monthly subscription to the Starlink service was 99 dollars. From now on, the price of the material will be 599 dollars (549 dollars for those who have already paid a deposit); as for the monthly rate, it now stands at 110 dollars.
Contacted by journalists from The Vergea representative of SpaceX justified this increase by “ inflation adjustments “.
Note that the amounts entered here apply to the “basic” offer. Rates for Starlink Premium, which are significantly higher, remain at $2,500 for the kit and $500 monthly.
The price of equipment and delivery are increasing in France, and not by little
In France, only the prices of equipment and delivery are increasing for the moment. They go to respectively 634 euros and 71 euros against 499 euros and 59 euros previously. The monthly price of the service remains at 99 euros for the moment; a sum which was, in fact, already greater than that in dollars. From now on, with a monthly subscription of 110 dollars, the dollar/euro conversion is almost respected.
Of course, the formalization of an increase in the monthly rate in the coming days in France remains a possibility.
