SpaceX’s Starlink is now offering a low-cost “Roam 10GB” plan designed for light use during emergencies or weekend travel.
The new option, which launched this week, provides 10GB of data for $15 CAD/month ($10 in the USA) and aims to give users a reliable backup when their primary internet goes down.
According to an email sent to customers on March 17 and obtained by Telsa North, the plan is suited for short-term use—enough for roughly one day of typical internet activity. If users run out of data, they can purchase more on a pay-per-gigabyte basis through their Starlink account.
The Roam 10GB plan includes nationwide coverage, in-motion use, international roaming, and even connectivity along coastlines. It’s being marketed as an easy way to stay online during power outages or when travelling off-grid.
To activate the plan, users need to log in to their Starlink account, navigate to “Subscriptions,” select their service line, and choose “Activate Service” under the Roam 10GB option.

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 […]
