The cost of SpaceX’s Starlink hardware in Australia has risen to A$599.00, with a monthly cost of A$139. This comes as a change from the previous price of A$199 for the hardware. Starlink is a low-Earth orbit satellite constellation created by SpaceX to provide high-speed internet to underserved areas. Unlike traditional satellite internet services that rely on geostationary satellites, Starlink’s satellites orbit much closer to Earth at about 550km, resulting in significantly lower latency compared to typical satellite internet.

The price increase for Starlink’s hardware in Australia is likely due to a combination of factors, including increased production capacity, rising manufacturing and satellite launch costs, as well as growing consumer and business demand. Despite the price increase, Starlink continues to offer options for different needs and scenarios, including business-grade services with higher speeds, mobility, maritime, aviation (available later this year), and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.

When considering whether Starlink is worth it, it is important to evaluate individual needs and circumstances. For individuals living in areas with limited internet coverage, Starlink may be a viable option. However, it is crucial to take into account the cost of the hardware kit and the monthly subscription fee when making a decision.
