"The new plan, called is priced at $40 a month, which is substantially less than the cost of SpaceX's existing Residential and Residential Lite plans, which cost $120 and $80 per month, respectively. The Residential plan is a prioritized service, which means it offers faster and more reliable service, perfect for data-heavy households. In contrast, the Residential Lite service is a deprioritized plan, resulting in slower service, especially during peak usage times."
"The Residential plan offers download speeds ranging from 150 to 300+ Mbps, while Residential Lite offers speeds ranging from 50 to 200 Mbps. Both offer unlimited data downloads and upload speeds of around 15 to 35 Mbps. Residential 100Mbps, as the name suggests, is capped to 100 Mbps, and still offers the same unlimited data downloads and upload speeds. Think of Residential 100Mbps as a capped version of Residential Lite."
"However, at $40 a month, it's cheap, especially when you consider that typical broadband bills in the US average around $70, but can range from $20 to $300 per month. But the 100 Mbps capped download speeds are well below the speeds people can expect from terrestrial broadband. (Figures vary, but last year US download speeds averaged around the 160 Mbps mark.)"
SpaceX offers a new Starlink Residential 100Mbps plan priced at $40 per month with unlimited data and upload speeds around 15–35 Mbps. The plan is capped at 100 Mbps download and is positioned as a capped version of Residential Lite. Existing Residential and Residential Lite plans cost $120 and $80 per month, with Residential prioritized for faster, more reliable service and Residential Lite deprioritized during peak times. Residential download speeds range 150–300+ Mbps; Residential Lite ranges 50–200 Mbps. The $40 plan undercuts average US broadband bills near $70 but provides lower download speeds than average terrestrial broadband (~160 Mbps).
