UPDATE 1/14/26: We have good news and bad news. The good news: Residential 100Mbps is back. The bad news: it's $10 more expensive.
Original Story:
The cheapest Starlink plan, Residential 100Mbps, debuted last month for a surprisingly low $40 per month, but it looks like SpaceX has quietly removed the offering for users in the US.
On Reddit, Starlink subscribers in the US noted that the Residential 100Mbps is no longer an option on Starlink.com or the app. "I upgraded because I was as having a lot of family over for Thanksgiving and am now not able to go back to the 40 dollar a month option," one user wrote.
Earlier this week, we also noticed the plan was no longer offered for new users in parts of Nebraska, where the service tier was previously available.
The plan stood out for its low price while capping download speeds to 100Mbps. Starlink usually costs $120 per month for the standard Residential plan.
Still, the 100Mbps plan wasn’t widely available; it seemed to pop up in a relatively small number of areas, likely where Starlink had excess network capacity. Customers spotted it being offered in parts of Illinois and Nevada as well. One reader in Maine also told us they switched to the 100Mbps plan as recently as Sunday, December 7th for two Starlink dishes.
SpaceX didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. But some customers speculate that new users and existing subscribers scrambled to take advantage of the bargain deal, causing Starlink to reach capacity in the eligible areas.
The Starlink site is still offering Residential 100Mbps for users in Australia and Canada. The official customer support portal also still mentions the 100Mbps offering too.
We’ve seen SpaceX test various discounts for Starlink, especially in the last two years, as it aggressively promotes the satellite internet service across the globe. This included debuting the Residential Lite plan at $80 per month for US users in February. So, if you were hoping to test out Residential 100Mbps, keep an eye on Starlink's website; it might make a return.
