Starlink Mini Black Friday Sale For $229

Starlink has joined the holiday sale season by offering its latest satellite internet dish, the Starlink Mini, at a $70 discount. Starlink started selling the Mini at $299 this fall, then reduced the price to $229. Starlink hasn't mentioned how long the sale will last. It’s the lowest price Starlink has sold the Mini for in the U.S.

In addition, the Standard dish is also available for purchase with a Roam plan for $279, down from $349.

The Starlink Mini launched earlier this year as a smaller, lightweight version of the Standard Starlink dish. It’s about half the size of the Standard, similar to a small laptop, and it has onboard Wi-Fi, eliminating the need to connect the dish to a router. The Mini is compatible with Starlink’s two Roam plans: the Unlimited plan for $165 per month or the 50GB Roam plan for $50 per month. It can also be used with Starlink's low-performance standby mode for $5 per month, making it ideal for a backup internet solution.

This Starlink Mini also requires less power so that it can operate with most portable power sources. This dish can achieve download speeds of about 100Mbps, be used in motion, and be used internationally under the Roam plans. It’s perfect for backpackers or those who need backup internet in rural areas.

The Starlink Mini is also available from select retailers for $70 off. Buying a Starlink kit from third-party retailers such as Best Buy or Home Depot has several advantages, including the ability to pick it up at the store and start using it.

According to a help center post on Starlink, the company will partially refund the equipment if it was purchased within 30 days before the discount was announced. If you bought the Starlink Mini in the past month at the full price of $299, submit a support ticket to request a partial refund. The post doesn’t specify if there are any other factors to qualify for the refund or how much will be refunded.
