Elon Musk's satellite internet provider Starlink has begun undercutting traditional broadband providers in the UK after rolling out aggressive price cuts, intensifying competition in Britain's fixed-line market. Starlink is now offering high-speed broadband for as little as £35 a month in selected parts of the UK, down from a previous entry-level price of £55. The move places the satellite service below comparable packages from BT, which charges around £40 a month, and Virgin Media O2, whose equivalent service is priced at £36.

FTTP coverage in the UK has reached 77.8% by the end of Q2 2025, with over 26 million premises connected, reflecting a growth of 15.3% annually.
