With both plans’ 200 Mbps download and upload speeds, staying online is easy. Standard Starlink kits cost $350 if you buy the hardware separately. This option lets people buy hardware for a one-time payment. This new lease option is great for high-speed internet users who don’t want to pay upfront. It’s adaptable and affordable, expanding Starlink’s reach.
How does Starlink’s reduced kit price boost accessibility?
Since its launch in Kenya in July, Starlink has made significant strides in making its service more accessible to a broader audience.
The company has been working tirelessly to bridge the digital divide and ensure that high-speed internet is no longer a luxury reserved for the few. By reducing barriers to entry, Starlink is empowering individuals, businesses, and communities to unlock their full potential and thrive in today’s digital landscape.
One of the critical milestones in this journey has been the drastic reduction in the price of the Starlink kit. Initially retailing at $687.26, the kit was considered prohibitively expensive for many potential customers.
However, the company has since slashed the price to make it more affordable, opening up new opportunities for those who were previously priced out. This move is a testament to Starlink’s commitment to accessibility and to making high-speed internet a reality for all.
