What is Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite Internet pricing?

It received Vietnam's license last week but has not disclosed a rollout schedule or pricing.

Customers must pay for satellite receiver hardware with the standard kit of a satellite dish, Wi-Fi router, cables, and mounting stand listed on the official website at US$349-599 depending on the market.

In some countries, it offers promotions to attract subscribers.

In April 2025 the company provided the kit for free in markets like Italy, Germany and Spain for a 12-month subscription costing $80 a month.

Doan Quang Hoan, vice chairman of the Vietnam Radio-Electronics Association, said satellite Internet terminals typically cost $500-$1,000, but Starlink sells them cheap as a market penetration strategy.

Its residential plan targeted at individual users costs about $120 per month in the U.S., but is much cheaper in Europe, costing 40-70 euros ($47-$83) in Germany and France.

In Japan, the tariff is 6,000-7,000 yen, equivalent to $45-50. In Southeast Asia, it is 2,700 pesos ($50) in the Philippines and 750,000 rupiah ($45) in Indonesia.

There are also higher-priced business packages that support more devices and provide prioritized bandwidth. It also provides mobile, maritime and aviation plans, which cost more due to specialized hardware requirements.

Traditional fiber-optic Internet in Vietnam costs only a few million dong a year in Vietnam (VND1 million = $39).

At a press briefing in Dec. 2025, a spokesperson for the Telecommunications Department said satellite Internet complements ground infrastructure, filling coverage gaps, and is especially useful during disasters as it does not rely on terrestrial infrastructure.
