Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by space exploration company, SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk. Starlink internet works by beaming data signals between thousands of low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites overhead and gateway stations on the ground below. Already, Starlink is the third-largest satellite internet provider in the U.S.

If you live anywhere in the U.S., you’re most likely covered by Starlink satellite service. In fact, Starlink provides service to over 2 million active customers across 60 countries. The Starlink coverage map above shows the ever-expanding footprint of Starlink’s internet coverage. Currently, 5,164 low-earth-orbit (LEO) Starlink satellites orbit the Earth, providing internet service to many areas.

Here are some quick stats regarding Starlink’s availability:

  • Over 2 million current subscribers
  • Approximately 5,164 LEO satellites in orbit
  • 125 total licensed launches of Starlink satellites by SpaceX
  • 59 gateway stations across the U.S.
  • 60 countries served worldwide

Starlink Internet Services

Best features Things to consider
  • Rural availability
  • Unlimited data
  • No hidden fees
  • No contracts
  • Significant wait times for residential service
  • High upfront cost for equipment
  • No professional installation

Starlink internet deals and pricing are straightforward and free of hidden fees, offering five plan types: Residential, Roam, Business, Maritime, and Aviation. Starting at just $90 per month for residential customers, Starlink is accessible for both rural and urban subscribers looking for an alternative to traditional wired internet.

Even though 5,164 Starlink satellites roam the sky in a scheduled pattern, certain sectors of the Earth are less visited than others, limiting the capacity Starlink has to take on new subscribers. Since their satellite launch operations began in 2019, Starlink has successfully completed 125 launches, and the company is planning to continue launching at an ambitious pace to increase capacity and fulfill future orders.

Starlink Internet Speeds

Current speeds offered by a Starlink satellite connection top out at download speeds up to 220 Mbps. Elon Musk’s SpaceX intends to increase the maximum speed to 10 Gbps in the future. These speeds will require specialized laser technology that SpaceX is still in the process of developing and expanding.

This technology would outfit future LEO satellites with the capability to communicate directly with each other while in orbit via laser. Since transmissions of these sorts travel exponentially faster in the vacuum of space than on the ground, 10 Gbps download speeds may become a distinct reality. Until then, Starlink LEO satellites do all of their communication with gateway base stations located on Earth to send data transmissions where they need to go.

Frequently Asked Questions About Starlink Internet

  • Where is Starlink available?

    Currently, Starlink Residential services are most available in Northern U.S. states that border Canada, such as Washington, North Dakota, and Michigan, since this was the region SpaceX focused on during its beta testing of Starlink. Since exiting the beta phase, Starlink has become fully operational to service locations across the United States and internationally. The Starlink RV plan, however, is immediately available.

  • How much does Starlink internet cost per month?

    Starlink internet plans start at $90 per month for residential subscribers.

  • How is Starlink different?

    While traditional satellite internet speeds top out around 100 Mbps, Starlink internet download speeds reach up to 220 Mbps. Starlink is faster than traditional internet because its thousands of LEO satellites orbit at a much lower altitude, increasing communication speed.

  • How do I contact Starlink internet customer service?

    You can contact customer service either through the Starlink app or via the Starlink website.

  • How good is Starlink internet?

    So far, Elon Musk and his Starlink internet have delivered on expectations in terms of performance since exiting the beta phase in October 2021. As SpaceX continues to launch more LEO satellites and expands its capacity to add subscribers, more feedback on performance will surface.
