Starlink almost halved the cost of subscriptions in Ukraine

Starlink has announced a reduction in the cost of monthly subscriptions in some countries, including Ukraine.

Here's What It Costs

For Ukrainians, the rate was reduced from $100 to $60. It is symbolic that letters about the innovation were sent to Ukrainians on August 24, the Independence Day of Ukraine.

Other countries were affected as well. In the Netherlands, for example, the subscription fee dropped from €124 a month to €105. In Britain, the fee was cut from 89 to 75 pounds, in Mexico - from 2,299 to 1,100 pesos, in Germany - from 100 to 80 euros. In Chile and Brazil, the cost of a monthly subscription has dropped by about 50%. But in the U.S., the price remained the same at about $110.

The company explained the decrease in tariffs by the reaction to "local market conditions".
