On March 17, 2025, Starlink will roll out a new pricing model for its business customers. Read on to understand how it impacts new and existing Starlink business customers.

Understanding the New Starlink Plans for Businesses

The new Starlink plans offer businesses more flexibility with local and global pricing options, catering to diverse operational needs. Here’s a breakdown of the updated pricing structure:

Local Pricing

• Terminal Access Fee: $66.00 per month
• 50GB Data Block: $42.00/each
• 500GB Data Block: $210.00/each
• Use cases: Ideal for businesses at a fixed location or on the move within Australia.

Global Pricing

• Terminal Access Fee: $180.00 per month
• 50GB Data Block: $180.00/each
• 500GB Data Block: $885.00/each
• Use cases: Great for large businesses that need internet while travelling anywhere on the globe over land or sea.

This tiered approach allows companies to select plans that align with their specific data requirements and geographical scope of operations.

Breaking Down the Cost of Starlink’s Business Internet

The cost structure for Starlink’s business internet has been redesigned to provide more transparent pricing. By separating the Terminal Access Fee from data packages, Starlink enables businesses to have a clearer understanding of their internet expenses. This model allows for more accurate budgeting and the flexibility to adjust data plans as needed, by buying data top ups/blocks, without changing the base terminal fee.

Data Allowances in Starlink’s Updated Business Plans

Businesses can create data limits based on 50GB and 500GB data blocks in the updated Starlink plans or recurring data blocks which are automatically ordered when the data allowance is exceeded to avoid the service being shaped/slowed. This range of data options ensures that companies can select a plan that matches their usage patterns, whether they are a small local startup with modest data needs or a large corporation requiring substantial bandwidth for cloud services and video conferencing anywhere on the globe.

Transition Timeline for Existing Customers

Starlink has set a clear timeline for the rollout of these new plans. While the pricing structure will be officially released on 17th March 2025 and available to new customer immediately, existing customers will have a transition period and will be moved to the new plans on the 1st May 2025. This phased approach gives businesses ample time to review their current usage, assess the new options, and make informed decisions about their future internet service plans.

As the May 1st transition date approaches, businesses currently using Starlink services should review their internet usage patterns and evaluate which of the new plans best suits their needs. Existing Skymesh business customers and partners will receive an email from their account managers inviting them to review and discuss the changes.

For companies considering switching to Starlink, these new plans offer an opportunity to access high-speed satellite internet with a pricing structure designed for business flexibility.
