Starlink, a satellite Internet service, uses a satellite network developed by Elon Musk’s private spaceflight company SpaceX to provide Internet around the globe.
SpaceX uses low-Earth orbit satellites to provide high-speed Internet across the globe. As of this writing, coverage is provided to 34 countries and improving satellite infrastructure will add more countries around the globe. You can view the updated coverage area here:
Starlink offers two types of satellite Internet in Canada for non-business users: Residential Internet and RV Internet. Residential Internet is suitable for those with an address or who don’t need to change their location. RV Internet is for those who want mobility. You can take RV Internet anywhere you go, without location boundaries.
In Canada, the cost of Starlink is as below (as of this writing):
Starlink Residential satellite Internet: $140 per month + Service taxes $18.20 (Upfront Hardware cost is $759 and $65 for shipping plus $107.12 tax)
Starlink RV satellite Internet: $170 per month + Service taxes $22.10 (Upfront Hardware cost is $759 and $65 for shipping plus $107.12 tax)
Both plans are for no-contract, unlimited Internet with a speed of 50 to 150 Mbps. Reported Starlink speeds vary, but in general they are below 100 Mpbs download and 30 Mbps upload, but your own results may vary.
Speeds and downtime provided by Starlink are a lot better than other satellite providers and there also is no contract. Some rural areas have had no Internet access in Canada before, so something definitely is better than nothing. As Starlink is working to increase its coverage across the globe, in the future I hope more remote locations will have access to better satellite Internet.
