SpaceX Starlink $200 Discount + Faster Speeds
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
- SpaceX Starlink is now available with a 33% discount and faster speeds to boot! SpaceX has rolled out refurbished Starlink V4 Kits (the latest model not an old one) with a $200 discount in the United States, offering a cost-effective option for consumers interested in accessing high-speed, low-latency internet.
Will this lower price attract more customers who have been sitting on the fence due to the high startup cost of SpaceX Starlink?

Do you think starlink would get more people sign up if they spread the cost of the equipment and lock people into a contract so made it $120 a month but achieve your contract for equipment because people have a hard time coming up with that lump sum of cash
Any word on starlink mini dish?
Hey what is the crap that You Tube is telling me related to thumbs up (like this video and channel)? Says I am out of “quota”. I am premium paid user. Anyone know?
I can’t find this special
my town of under 700 here in MidCoast maine, hs had terrible bad internet- hughesnet or phone type, i got mine in 2020 and waited 1 yr for it, and followed you since then, to learn the ropes.. now.. my town, is primary starlnk..u cant go past a house, camp, cabin and not see a white dish..even through 2 terrible winters.. our starlink was SOLID! no regrets and i point em all to wtch your vids..
Elon is the Master of Space and Time ! No Regrets! they even replaced my dish 100% for free- after a bear ate it- and gave me a 1 month free, for my troubles.! Space Ex Rocks~!!! cant wait for his phone!
My guess is that these "refurb" units are mostly returns under the 30 day program, as they can't legally be sold as new.
This was a great piece of news. Refub units were availalbe in my area and took advantage for the $200 off offer. Thanks for the heads up!
Dude! Thank you so much. I just put in my order!
What would be nice for long time users would be a nice little discount considering our initial price has jumped all the way up to 120 a month
Damn thats tough, here in europe we pay 50 euros, the panel itself was 225 for the dish, 380 total including shipping long wall mount and ethernet port (for gen 2)
Yep, too expensive! I’m thinking about picking up 5G internet instead
@@WeSRT4 As long as you have that option i will be way cheaper and likely better service and weather is a non issue.
thanks for this information
My version 4 router did have an issue (that Starlink noticed while I did not see an issue on my end) Their tech support emailed me and said they were sending a new router that came in 2 days. I replaced it since they sent a new router because the engineers saw an issue with the original router. Like I said, I never experienced an issue on my end but the engineers saw something I did not and they preemptively sent a new one. Now that's tech support like I have never experienced in my 58 years of life.
Hey bud,,thanks for all the info,
Where is the link to get Starlink refurbished price?
Good afternoon, I am living in the Philippines, and starlink is running the refurbished program here, we can only get the Gen 2 system here. They are selling for 14000 pesos, which is around $247.
Just installed my Starlink last week at my new house out in the country in NE. Getting 300mbps, I was shocked, never expected those speeds.
They are offering it for $1 in the Australian cities. I am remote and got mine for $199 last year. I had to silicone plastic birds spikes on my dish as the Aussie birds pulled the white coating off it. Starlink replaced the dish . These prices are Aussie dollars
I would have gone with refurbished had that been an option. Sometimes, but not always, a refurbished units have better components. However, when i signed up it was not an option. Plus, WiFi 6 is not an enticement for me as i use my dishy in bypass mode with my own network.
Starlink still out performs anything else I could get out here in the "sticks". My speeds have been more and more consistent lately. Zero complaints
Without knowing what the technical specifications are between the various versions, it is only speculation about what to expect for down and upload speeds.
I got a broken starling shipped to Mexico like a year ago, version 2. Contacted them and sent a new one...
I just purchased it as well. Seems like you cant get the version of the dish with the actuator any more for residential. Is that correct? Seems like the residential is the kick stand version.
I got a refurb actuated dish half price, dish works fine but came a little dirty. Had to wipe it down but otherwise fine. The unit sits outside in the weather so used it didnt bother me much.
Speeds i'd say much of a muchness. I suspect the newer dish would do better in motion with the wider FOV.
Hi from Northern New Zealand - the back of beyond😂 No sign of any refurb gear but there is a$1 starter deal. I’m getting 270Mbps from the satellite to my dishy. Then only 68 to my phone ,according to the Starlink app. On Speedtest, it’s 54 down , 22 up with latency of 24 idle. I’m paying the full whack…
ive installed many starlinks, i was calling the actuated one the v2, then the v3 came out with a kickstand and different power cable, is this v4 something new? or do i have my verions wrong.
just pulled up my brothers address who wants startlink and standard refurb showsup at 399. As others have noted if they are simply used like new because of the 30 day window return for those who for some reason did not like it this is not a bad deal
Went ahead and purchased. Buying land in rural Texas hill country that doesn't have any solid fiber infrastructure so this with T-mobile 5G as backup is the way im going. Thanks for the heads up!
Thats my setup.
That is great news, what about cost of service. Also when is the Pi phone going to be out for purchase.
I’ve watched a lot of Joes starlink videos and this is the first time I recall hearing anything about the v4 units having faster up/download speeds than all the prior versions. Where are the details on this? How much faster? What changed in the “modem” side of the router to get the faster speeds that isn’t possible to get via firmware update in the older models?
In Guatemala a refurbished gen 2 Starlink kit is around $200 and a new brand is $250, it is still a bit expensive for average people but at least they did permanent discount, nice move from SpaceX / Starlink.
👍🏻
My version 4 is doing great after 4 months!
Awesome!!
Where do we find this offer? I did not see it on starlink’s website.
I see this is only available on residential but not on roam. Can I order residential and then change to roam to get this deal? I checked my address in SoCal and I can get it…
In Canada we had the kits for gen 2 "Discounted" for probably 5 months at 599 CAD and its been like that for a bit now just checked still 599 CAD but doesn't say that its discounted, still quite a bit of money, I remember last year around the same time they had gen 2 kits on for 199 CAD which is dirt cheap for a brand new kit that would have just come out.
can I use the same roof mount I have now?
I live in North Orlando and have a cyber truck. Would it be good for a mobile connection [as our son lives in Virginia] ? He has Starlink there but he’s remote[Madison county N of Charlottesville . I also have a model Y with FSD. Presently we have Spectrum as our Internet provider. Will T-Mobile be a better provider [we now have Verizon] for Satellite calls?
where are the refurb dishes at to purchase, it shows 599 for me.
I'm waiting on my order, ordered last week, just saw this, I'm in one of those rare blacked out areas where it's not yet available for residential in the USA, though I have neighbors who have residential, new users can't get in for now. I signed up for the roaming, it's so much better than what we have available to us in a very rural mountain area.
I checked to see if I could get a refurbished unit, as long as I'm signed in to my account, it showed that I could get one (it's the GEN 3 BTW, not GEN 4 for me), BUT when I try to add it to my cart, it doesn't do anything, so I can't order one... I tried signing out and ordering, but it wouldn't show the refurbished unit available for me, even in the roaming part, it's just not there. It's strange that I can see it IF I'm signed in but I can't actually order it. Oh well, I'm still eagerly awaiting my Starlink, I know it will be so much better than what I have now.... Thanks for what you do!
Yes, an offer like that would get my interest.
What stops me dead in my tracks is, as a retiree in this inflated economy, you still end up with $120/month internet bill. So I may never buy Starlink. If they knocked down their Monthly bill to even $99 say, I might bite the bullet. I'd rather pay less for monthly service than equipment.
Fact
depends on where you live if you have options but my brother lives deep in the country and pay 95 for dish which he never watches and 80 for hughsnet which is slow, they had a data cap. if he drops both for starlink he saves 55 per month and can stream TV, faster internet with no data cap
STARLINK not for you!
Keep your cell phone, Netflix, HughesNet, DirectTV etc $$$$
We retired Starlinkers use Ooma Free, Orionoid $1, Real-Debrid $4
And still less than a cup of Starbucks. ❤❤❤
It's only €50 per month in Europe, you can even rent the equipment for €10 per month with no initial cost at all.
San Francisco Bay area, also has the refub available.
👍🏻👍🏻
So exactly how do I order the refurbished unit. I must be blind or dumb, but I can't find any reference to a refurb unit on my Starlink account.
Tried to buy one with roam package but doesn’t seem to be an option. Anyone have a work around? Want it for my RV
Refurb units are not available in Georgia.
They dont offer it in Michigan which sucks as I want to order this Friday. I played with the app 0.22% obstruction and have a 4x6 post buried out in the yard at that spot, 80 feet of conduit 18" down and 4-6' high(2-4'exposed) that now has a rope inside that conduit done last weekend. I need the 150' cable and a sturdy pivot mount for the pole. Per your videos I went with this setup as any adjustment will simply be me walking out and moving the thing easily before locking it down. I am looking at $855 in equipment/1st month in the starlink store so $200 off would sure have been nice.
😔
Great video I thank I got Rip off Full price I paid Boo three months ago
I must have miss something I've been looking and even started a order but it still wants to add the $599 price and cannot find a service plan for refurbished equipment. Been watching it for over 2 years
Checked says nothing about refurbished here in East Tn
Can the refurbished Starlink V4 be used for my RV roam or is it only for residental??
Thanks for you help.
I tried and can’t find that option. I emailed them
Yes, this offer/discount is also available in the Philippines,
Nice!!
Nice, considering I just bought (and should be delivered tomorrow) at full price... But mine is new so I guess I'm good.
Sometimes the early bird pays a price!!
Refurbed units are currently available in middle California.
Bought one this evening in Texas.
No kick stand, bought the attachment to put on pole kit they sell. 4 months and haven’t had to realign dish. Still loving it mostly except the unannounced updates that can impact my use during that 5 minute window that can cause problems in a zoom call or a battle game. Not cool.
Awesome.
Do I have to put alu inum foil on it 😅
I live in a travel trailer and it would be awesome. 👍
We just ordered a dish and we didn't get an option to select what kind of dish we could order, or if it was refurbished or not. We are in rural Alaska, does that make a difference?
Yep. It’s not everywhere I believe they said.
Where is the link?
How can I get that deal
Is there any way i can improve my upload and download speeds on a older gen for gaming i have Ethernet
Honestly.. The speeds that you get right out of your Starlink router using a hardware will be the best that you will be able to get.
I’m in California I don’t see the discount price
$399 refurbished but what if I want it to be a roaming plan? I have to fork up $599 for the device?
I believe you can which to roaming and back again at will. Check into it.
I do agree this seems like a sign that they're trying to move away from the older models and systems trying to simplify it now that they have a fair amount of satellites in the sky. However I would like to see stats from zones in each state using this newer model. I am a bit skeptical about performance being improved.
According to the Starlink app on the speed test function built into the cell phone app I've had pretty mid to low performance abilities lately. I use to see the internet to the router performance go over 200 to 300 but as of lately I've seen those numbers sink down to maybe 210 as little as 40 most of the time it's on the lower end 100s and under so I'm not exactly sure what to make of that.
It does raise some questions.
👍🏻🚀🚀
It is possible that Starlink had a problem with the manufacturing of version 4 and the refurbished are systems sent back for repair and were never sold.
They did have a problem with their pole mount. I didn’t here anything about the v4 itself
Joe, time for you to bite on this deal. 😊 2 ethernet ports, No more dongle debacle 👍
WiFi.6 ❤
268/30 I wonder how much faster I could go? $599 in Australia.
Can I just buy it and save it it for when I’m ready to activate, just in case they maybe go out of stock or raise price ?
I would say yes. When I ordered my unit it was a preorder. Surprisingly it then shipped quickly to a summer house address. Set up my account and logged in and cancelled the service within the first 30 days. Then a few months later when I arrived at the house I installed the dish reactivated the service and all was fine.
what is the cost monthly after taxes? $120 per month + Taxes & Fees? Or is it just $120 Total including Taxes & Fees? it's Available in SW FL.
No taxes or fees…just $120. I pay $150 for the roaming plan…
I pay 20 for a hot spot in my truck.
Do Starlink recognize or accept ACP(Affordable Connectivity Program)?
Strarlink doesn't qualify for ACP funding because a) the FCC changed the minimum qualifications for up and download speeds b) because the end user has to pay for the equipment up front.
My problem is without a phone number Starlink sucks. I can not process an order because it fails to redirect to my bank properly. I guess no Starlink
In Zimbabwe we have been buying starlink for $1500 USD on the black market. So $699 is very cheap.
Ouch
The deal isn’t available in Colorado 😢
It is here in Trinidad, CO
I see no indication of $200 discount. They show only standard price.
Not available in all states. Not sure what the parameters are that determine that. Could be State Laws even that prevent it.
Refurb electronics are often a good deal. Lower price, same warranty, and you know the unit was tested thoroughly. BTW, maybe it's just the lighting but in this video you look like you got a bit of sun. 🌞
Nope. I did. Burnt to a crisp. 😆
@@jcristina😊👍👍
Where do you get the discounted refurb unit?
I have used a friend's starlink. And when he makes it so you can get the equipment on payments, and the monthly service under $100 a month. I might consider it. I have fiber that cost almost $80 a month. And I am sick of the crap service.i just stops working at least twice a day, between 2pm and 10pm. And it take an hour to reboot. Starling in my opinion is not any better, yet. As of last month, anyway. He has put up another 100 satellite. Still the price is way too high for us that only make 30-50K a year. So he better do something before Amazon does, sometime next year, 2025 ish. If he ever builds a rocket that is. So far it is just fuel tanks, and red flags that say NOT FOR FLIGHT!
A question, if you are out in a rural area with no cell service how would you set up the Starlink dish???
Bluetooth does not go thru Internet. Think about it for a minute ...........................
@@jimgalle1371 If you have no cell service you probably don't have a cell phone. Think about it for a minute .........................
Yeah we got an email because ours is paused right now they offered to buy it bank for 200$ lol so they can still make money on it 😂 I sent you the email .

When you were getting the lower speeds, di you notice any issues??
@@professorg8383 In general, I don't notice any issues using the internet for streaming or zoom calls. The lowest speed was recorded on Sunday and I wasn't using the internet at the time. I have a raspberry Pi that autonomously checks network speed every 4 hours.
@@professorg8383 The low speed happened on a Sunday that I was not home. I have a raspberry pi automatically checking speeds once every 4 hours. I have not noticed and degradation in Starlink service except in very severe storms.
@@kevinmarr7094 Thanks. My point was that there is a lot of talk about top speeds on this channel, and for most users anything over 100Mb/s, is way overkill. In fact most internet users do just fine at a lot under 100Mb/s. Higher speeds help if you have a lot of users on your connection, but speed is often over hyped. My guess is you do pretty good at around 30Mb/s low end. A bit low for 4k video streaming but probably fine for lower definition feeds.
Latency is also overhyped for 95% of users. Most people don't need anything approaching real time. If you are a gamer, low latency is desirable. Interactive live video applications also benefit from lower latency, but it has to get pretty high before it is really noticeable. 31ms may not be ideal for online gaming but is more than adequate for most uses. But ground based connections are usually lower latency.
Fiber is stating to creep in areas
It is... Thank Goodness!
Suppose to get install on 22nd
Yes, it has been going in all over thanks to the government incentive to the companies. Took a while to get going because they need to engineer the installation, obtain local permissions' and/or permits.
Once that backbone ges installed, they can pretty easily put in 5G nodes to get to some of the tougher areas.
My guess is that is why Starlink is offering this discount. Get you committed now and then when the fiber moves in not too far from now, you'll have made that $420 investment and want to get your money's worth out of it. It would even make sense to put refurbished stickers on new units!
You'd be crazy to ge Starlink if you have a fiber or 5G wireless option. That service is expanding pretty quickly, There will still be unserved areas, but given another year, there will be less and less of those.
Allways have a backup.
A fire or super bad wheather will kill your fiber and you'll be days/weeks without service...
@@jplacido9999 And somehow Starlink is immune to that??? Seriously, fiber is far more reliable!!
Who in their right mind would spend that much for a backup?? If you have a cellphone you probably have a built in hot spot, And likely 4G broadband is immediately available. If you had fiber, most likely, 5G wireless is available.
Starlink must deal with space weather like geomagnetic storms, solar flares and CMEs. We are just now entering the 11 year cycle of high solar activity. It may be interesting to see how Starlink is effected.
can the gov track starlink
The spectrum / frequency they use for out bound and in bound traffic so yes, they could sniff for those.
My starlink has been getting slower and slower, I started I had 200 down 50 up and not I get 50 down and 15 up.
Wow that’s crazy slow. Time to go back to a 56k modem? 😂
Ouch!! I would put in a trouble ticket.. I had a problem like that and it was my ethernet adapter.. SpaceX sent me a new one.
wifi or ethernet hookup?? Mine slowed some.. installed new wifi card driver.. and it helped
Just looked at Starlink site. Now you have to pay for extra stuff. Pivot mount, wall mount, 45m cable, pipe adapter.
You always had to pay extra for those things.
Still cost more than I can pay.
😞 hope it changes soon.
Are they having a hard time sales this because they have so much trouble with them my be defeated ones
Canada gets the shit end of the stick bro lol
Ground Stations
my '' new starlink antenna was refurbished. but they did tell me but they took back my dish but I am not satisfied based off of your video, although I didn't have to pay for the refurb one
Tgey need to lower the price we pay from $120 to $80 . I like the service but not the price. Come on Elon, stop screwing us in the USA.
Maybe it is due to inventory or sales, 5 TB will cost you £4,000 a month, that is too steep Elon.
Starlink is still full price for me in Charleston TN.....
Yeah no refurbs in my area either
Just kidding.
I have Starlink ... give me the $200 and faster speeds. Not going to happen
Yes
I asked Starling about refurbished Starlink Kits and they will not respond to my question. To this is a hoax.
Nah. It’s real. If you’re in a location that have availability it will show up when ordering a new kit.
@@jcristina I have a Starlink kit and was asking about acquiring and additional refurbished kit for RV use. From what I see a refurbished kit is not available for me. And they are not quick to answer my question about refurbished kits. Something strange going on.
Well I guess your a good proponant of Starlink. My problem with your video is this. Many and I mean many including me are in their later years and have difficulty climbing up on a roof to install this version 4 redue. Or they have to pay some one to install the unit. Again older folks are on a fixed income. Bad enough we now pay 120.00 a month for less speed and the original cost of the Gen 2 . So this might be a hot deal for some, but believe me those of us that have the Gen 2 are happy it moves around on it's own to find the bird in the sky, because climbing up a latter to adjust a dishy is not easy for us. Just saying. Oh an by the way. Starlink keeps updating my router about once a week. Speeds getting slower and slower. Oh that's right they need it for all the new customers. ... Sorry don't mean to gripe, but there is good and bad about Starlink...
Must be junk if they have lots of bad units in just a few months. Watch for brake downs later.
Hey what is the crap that You Tube is telling me related to thumbs up (like this video and channel)? Says I am out of quota. I am premium paid user. Anyone know?
Not watching this one. Just gonna make me ANGRY.
He should put information about the human race in a couple satellites incase we get sent back to the stone ages.
Wouldnt buy anything from Elon
AND HE WOULDN'T BUY NADA FROM YOU LOL !!!
There you go! Completely understand.. I feel the same way from many other companies/people.
Don't worry, I bought two. I got it covered. Home & Roam versions.
Everyone is entitled to their own choices. I love Starlink and I cant wait for the DTS.
@USMC6976 same here. One for home, one for off grid camp.
Very misleading video. A discount is $200 off a brand new item. Selling a refurbished model, used, for $200 less from a new one is not a discount. It’s $200 less because it’s used and refurbished. There’s a huge difference.
