If you live in a rural or remote area and have struggled with poor broadband speeds, this could be the solution you have been waiting for. Starlink, the satellite internet service developed by SpaceX, is now offering the standard hardware kit completely free to new UK customers who sign up to a residential plan.

With clearer speed based packages now available and low cost or free installation depending on the plan you choose, getting fast reliable internet in hard to reach areas has never been more straightforward.

What Is Starlink?

Starlink is a satellite broadband service that delivers fast, low latency internet through a network of satellites in low Earth orbit. Unlike traditional satellite services that often suffer from high latency and inconsistent speeds, Starlink provides a much more responsive connection.

Depending on the plan you choose, UK customers can see speeds ranging from up to 100 Mbps through to 400 Mbps and beyond, with latency typically around 25 ms. It is more than capable of handling streaming, gaming, video calls, home working and smart home devices, even in areas where fibre and cable are not available.

Who Is This For?

Starlink is ideal for homes and businesses in rural and remote parts of the UK where traditional broadband struggles to deliver consistent speeds. Whether you work from home, run an online business, manage a holiday let or simply want to stream without buffering, Starlink offers a reliable alternative.

With the hardware kit included and simple professional installation options available, switching to satellite broadband is easier than ever.

Current Starlink Residential Plans in the UK

Starlink has moved to a clearer speed based structure in the UK, with three residential plans available.

Residential 100 Mbps Plan

• £35 per month
• Installation £75

This entry level plan is ideal for smaller households and everyday use including HD streaming, browsing and video calls. It includes unlimited data and offers a major upgrade for homes currently relying on slow fixed line broadband.

Residential 200 Mbps Plan

• £55 per month
• Installation £75

This plan suits busier households with multiple devices connected at once. It comfortably supports 4K streaming, online gaming and remote working. For many homes, this will be the perfect balance between performance and price.

Residential Max Plan

• Free installation

This is Starlink’s highest performing residential package, delivering speeds of up to 400 Mbps and beyond. It includes the latest Gen 3 router for improved WiFi coverage and performance. Installation is completely free on this plan, making it an attractive option for larger households or heavy internet users.

What’s Included in the Free Starlink Kit?

When you sign up to any residential plan, you receive the standard Starlink hardware kit at no upfront cost. This includes:

• Starlink dish
• WiFi router
• Base
• Power supply

How Much Does It Cost Overall?

While the hardware itself is included, installation depends on the plan you choose. The 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps plans currently have a £75 installation fee, while installation is free on the Residential Max plan.

With no hardware purchase required, this significantly reduces the upfront cost compared to many traditional rural broadband installations.
