In an effort to attract more users to its Starlink satellite internet service, SpaceX has decided to prolong its Regional Savings program for the Starlink Standard dish in the United States until April 30. This program allows customers in specific US states to receive a flat $200 discount on the Standard Kit. It was announced last month and was originally scheduled to conclude on March 31.
Discount Details
Starlink.com has refreshed its landing page for the Residential plan, showing that users in selected areas can get the Starlink Standard dish for only $149 until April 30. To take advantage of this offer, simply visit Starlink.com/residential, input your eligible address, and the $200 discount will be automatically deducted at checkout. If you would rather purchase through retailers such as Best Buy or Walmart, you can still benefit from the promotion. However, instead of an immediate price drop, the $200 discount will be credited to your Starlink account as service credits after you activate the dish with either the Residential or Residential Lite plan.
Availability and Limitations
Currently, the Regional Savings promo is accessible in 27 US states, and you can find the complete list of eligible regions below. It’s important to remember that even within these states, some specific locations might not qualify due to network capacity restrictions.
Additionally, if you take advantage of the offer and then relocate your service address outside the eligible area, change your plan, or cancel within the first 30 days without returning the hardware, Starlink warns that you will incur a $300 fee.
Price Comparison
The choice to extend this promotion clearly indicates that SpaceX is focusing on the Standard Kit, even as the price gap between the Standard Kit and the portable Starlink Mini keeps increasing. As we discussed in our earlier articles, while the Mini was intended to be a more affordable option compared to the Standard Kit, it remains quite expensive in the US, and the difference between the Standard Kit and Mini has now reached a record high ($149 vs $499).
