Despite Elon Musk's thoughts that the Starlink Mini dish would be priced at half of what the Standard Kit costs, SpaceX has launched it at the full retail price of $599. This price was even higher than that of the larger dish, which was available with a promotional discount at the time.
New Pricing for Standard Dish
Since that initial release, SpaceX has further reduced the price of the standard Starlink dish to $349, which now appears to be its permanent price. Recently, however, the Starlink Mini kit experienced its first significant price drop from $599 to $449 at retailers like Best Buy, marking its lowest price ever.
Extended Discount Offer
Originally, this promotion was set to end on December 8, but SpaceX has begun notifying Residential plan subscribers via email that they can still acquire the Mini dish at the discounted price until December 31. The email also mentioned a discount on the roaming plan available for purchase.
The communication from SpaceX states that customers who buy a Starlink Mini dish by the end of this month will enjoy the same $449 promotional price that was initially scheduled to expire on December 8.
Roaming Plan Discount
Additionally, purchasers will receive a 40% discount on the Roam plan, which allows the use of the Starlink Mini dish while traveling. It's worth noting that this roaming plan applies only to the base option with a 50GB limit, available for $30/month, rather than the unlimited satellite internet plan priced at $165/month.
For users of the Starlink Standard Kit on the Residential plan who frequently travel and wish to take a Starlink Mini dish along, this new bundle deal could be appealing as it reduces the cost of both the dish and the roaming plan.
