SpaceX’s satellite Internet service Starlink has taken the wraps off Starlink Premium, a new higher-speed, higher-priced service tier. Starlink Premium offers higher upload and download speeds, up to two to three times faster than the basic service. Or up to 20-40 Megabits per second (Mbps) upload, 150-500 Mbps download, according to Starlink. It also costs five times as much. Starlink says the Premium service is aimed at “super users” and small businesses looking for top performance.
Standard Starlink service costs $99 per month and requires a one-time $99 refundable deposit and $499 hardware fee. Starlink Premium lives up to its name right with its onboarding costs.
