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.
The most recent Starlink launch occurred on March 18 when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, deploying 23 Starlink satellites into orbit, including 13 with Direct-to-Cell capabilities.
As SpaceX continues to rapidly scale Starlink, its suppliers are racing to keep pace. One of them, European chipmaker STMicroelectronics, has revealed just how massive its role in the satellite internet network has become — and how much bigger it’s about to get. According to Reuters, STMicro has shipped more than 5 billion radio-frequency antenna […]
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 […]
