SpaceX currently still has a Starlink hardware offer for ‘rural’ Canada (we say this loosely as many addresses not considered rural qualify) at just $199 CAD, down from the regular price of $759 CAD.
Starlink costs $140/month for service and recently, SpaceX updated its Canadian version of the website to detail speed expectations for new customers.
“Current customer speeds in Canada range from 70-250 Mbps” says SpaceX, noting they “may be lower during peak hours.”
A quick check of other localized pages for Starlink doesn’t mention this, but only for Canada it seems. Previously, these speed expectations were buried in the service specifications page, but now it’s upfront on the website.
Some Canadian Starlink customers noted the speeds they’re getting in southern Ontario are in line with what SpaceX noted, but it really depends on location it seems, as others said they’re getting speeds higher than advertised. As more Starlink satellites are sent to orbit to add to constellations, speeds and capacity will improve.
While the Starlink Canada English page offers the speed disclosure, the French Canadian version of the page does not.
SpaceX’s Starlink constellation is continuing its rapid expansion, and the company is now on track to surpass 10,000 satellites in orbit by February 2026 — a milestone that would cement Starlink as one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects ever deployed in space. Looking at cumulative deployment trends over the past six years, the pace […]
SpaceX’s Starlink is proving that high-speed satellite internet isn’t just for homes, RVs, or airplanes — it can also keep up with off-road race trucks blasting through the desert at full throttle. In a new showcase shared by Starlink, competitive off-road racing team 1 Nine Industries and Terrible Herbst Motorsports used Starlink connectivity to prepare […]
SpaceX’s Starlink is closer than ever to launching in South Africa after a major regulatory shift removed one of the biggest barriers blocking the satellite internet provider from entering the country. As first highlighted by longtime Tesla watcher @SERobinsonJr, South Africa’s Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Solly Malatsi, has issued a new directive — […]
