Customers can expect to pay about $100 as an initial deposit, with uncertain timeline for when internet service will be live. When the rollout occurs and equipment is ready to ship, customers will be billed for equipment and shipping, and monthly high-speed internet billing will begin. To set up Starlink equipment and receive monthly internet service, customers can expect to pay about $550 initially plus approximately $100 a month or $1,200 annually.

Currently, there is one flat monthly fee for service, with no data cap limiting or throttling streaming speed or quality.

The deposit is put toward this billing. Potential customers in the United States can expect approximate costs to include:
