(PCMag/Best Buy, Walmart)
As PCMag's networking editor, I've covered Starlink—SpaceX's revolutionary satellite internet service—from the beginning, so I know a good deal on Starlink equipment when I see one. And that happens to be right now: Both the Starlink Mini and Starlink Standard dishes are currently on sale, but you won't find these discounts at Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day 2025.
Instead, if you're eyeing reliable, fast satellite internet service but haven't yet pulled the trigger on Starlink, head on over to Best Buy or Walmart where you'll find the Standard Kit on sale for $269 and the Mini on sale for $299. Huge savings compared with list prices: The Standard Kit typically retails for $349 and the Mini for $499.
Need satellite internet wherever you roam? The 4-star Starlink Mini combines around-the-globe connectivity with a compact, efficient design that can travel almost anywhere with you. Given its smaller size and convenient design, a lot of people are interested in the Starlink Mini, whether it's for use in a boat, vehicle, RV, backpacking off the grid, or just getting connectivity where it's needed most, regardless of the local infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the 4.5-star Editors' Choice-winning Starlink Standard Kit is actually two pieces of hardware in one: a Wi-Fi router and a separate satellite receiver, which you install permanently somewhere on your property. It's not portable like the Mini is, but it does offer superior performance.

On the fence about which Starlink dish is best for you? It could be both. We've tested them each extensively, and each delivers excellent performance. The Starlink Standard residential kit is a robust, high-performance system for your home base, while the Starlink Mini is an ultra-portable companion for when you're on the road. Check out more in our detailed comparison of Starlink Mini vs. the Standard Kit.
While these current discounts are impressive, it's worth noting that some prospective Starlink customers might be able to do even better. The company occasionally offers free equipment to new subscribers in specific geographic areas, as well as discounts on the monthly service fees. For instance, Starlink is currently advertising $59-per-month Residential Lite service for the first year and a Standard Kit for just $89. The catch is that you won't know if you're eligible for a deal like that until you enter your address at Starlink.com. For everyone else, the 40% discount is worth taking advantage of right now.
