SpaceX sent an email on Tuesday to customers, saying Starlink's"Residential" plan would become $10 more expensive for people in"limited capacity" areas from April 24, increasing their service from $110 to $120 per month, according to screenshots reviewed by Insider. The price for customers in"excess capacity" areas is decreasing by $20, meaning they'll pay $90 a month.
Multiple Starlink customers who were notified about the price increase this week told Insider they weren't happy about paying more for the service. They sent Insider verification proving they were Starlink customers.Colton McClain, a Starlink user based in Oklahoma, called the higher prices"aggravating" and the internet connection"abysmal." He said he wouldn't be surprised if the service cost $150 a month in 2025.
After a discussion with his wife, he said:"We have pretty much agreed that $120 is the max we are willing to go with this before we try to find something else or go back to using the terrible internet service provider we had before."
