Starlink satellite internet is one of the fastest-growing providers of high-speed internet access for rural and mobile users. Its low latency and wide availability make it sought after for dozens of use cases, but it’s notably been expensive to obtain.

Thankfully, as Starlink has grown, it has frequently offered more and more special discounts and promotions to get its hardware and service to more people. We monitor and report on the ongoing Starlink deals and compile them below.

Starlink Hardware Rental: Get the dish for “free”

Starlink Standard kits currently retail for $349; however, it’s no longer required to pay the upfront cost of owning a dish to use Starlink internet. Customers in select areas of the U.S. will only need to pay a $20 shipping fee to receive a Standard Starlink kit through its rental program. If the customer cancels service, they must return the dish in acceptable condition within 30 days. Learn more about Starlink Rental.

Buying used Starlink equipment

If you’re feeling especially thrifty, Starlink equipment can be transferred between customers, allowing you to purchase a used dish in person or on online marketplaces. Purchase pre-owned Starlink equipment at your own risk. Starlink has a specific process for unlinking a dish from the seller’s account and transferring it to you. If the hardware is not transferred correctly, the dish will not activate at your location and will essentially be useless. Read our guide on selling and buying used Starlink hardware.
