Spacex’s internet-from-space program starlink is increasing prices for both the purchase of starlink kits and for the monthly service. The company says the’sole purpose of these adjustments is to keep pace with rising inflation’.
All new orders of the starlink kit will now cost $ 110. Anyone who put down a deposit for the original $ 499 kit will have to pay $ 549 instead. Customers would then pay a $ 99 monthly charge to keep the service running.
The new prices seem to be separate from starlink’s premium service. Spacex president Gwynne Shotwell had previously said the company had no plans to add price tiers for the service.
The company has launched more than 2,000 starlink satellites. Users must point their terminal at a large patch of open sky. These satellites relay signals to SpaceX’s various ground stations on earth.
Spacex first started offering starlink to customers in April of 2021. The cost to construct each user antenna ran about $ 3,000. Spacex was selling its kits to customers at a loss.
