DishNinjas, a professional installer specializing in Starlink satellite internet, is significantly expanding its footprint across the U.S. Midwest as demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity continues to surge.
The company announced on Tuesday that it is rolling out its professional residential and commercial Starlink installation services to 12 Midwest states, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. This expansion brings DishNinjas’ services to homeowners and businesses across both urban and rural areas, where traditional broadband options can often fall short.
DishNinjas says the move is aimed squarely at improving Starlink performance through professional-grade installation, rather than leaving customers to navigate a DIY setup. Residential installations for homeowners cost between $399 and $899, while commercial installations for businesses begin at $899 and scale depending on complexity and requirements. Every installation includes a full site assessment, optimized dish placement, weatherproof mounting, system testing, and post-installation support.
“Professional installation transforms how Starlink performs for homeowners and businesses,” a DishNinjas spokesperson said, noting that factors like mounting location, cable routing, and local terrain can make a meaningful difference in real-world speeds and reliability. “Homeowners and businesses deserve professional installation,” they added. “Not DIY. Not guessing. Professional expertise that ensures optimal performance from day one.”
The timing of the expansion is notable, as Starlink continues to gain massive momentum. The satellite internet service doubled its global user base in 2025 and saw web traffic across its network surge as adoption accelerated. Starlink currently operates more than 9,000 satellites in orbit and is on track to cross the 10,000-satellite milestone next month, with SpaceX also planning to double dish production to meet demand. Elon Musk has previously said Starlink is now SpaceX’s largest revenue source.
Looking ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Starlink, with SpaceX preparing to launch next-generation Starlink V3 satellites aboard Starship. Those satellites are expected to dramatically increase network capacity and unlock much faster speeds, delivering long-promised gigabit-level connectivity.
As Starlink scales and becomes a primary internet option for more households and businesses, companies like DishNinjas are positioning themselves as a key part of the ecosystem — helping customers get the most out of the rapidly evolving satellite broadband network from day one.
