Starlink raised prices across U.S. consumer residential and mobile plans by $5 to $10 per month. Residential tiers increased from $50 to $55 for 100 Mbps, from $80 to $85 for 200 Mbps, and from $120 to $130 for MAX. Roam plans increased from $50 to $55 for 100GB and from $165 to $175 for Unlimited. The Roam 300GB plan stayed at $80 per month. Standby Mode, introduced in 2025, doubled from $5 to $10 per month while keeping a minimal 500 Kbps connection for emergency use, firmware updates, and basic connectivity. The change applies immediately to new subscribers and to existing subscribers on or after 18 June.

"The most notable change is to Standby Mode, a feature introduced in 2025 that allows subscribers to pause their active service while maintaining a minimal 500 Kbps connection for emergency use, firmware updates, and basic connectivity. At $5 per month, Standby was an attractive option for seasonal users, RV owners, and anyone who wanted to keep their Starlink hardware alive without paying for full service.
