Residential Lite Service Plan. The Residential Lite Service Plan is designed for personal, family, or household use at a fixed land-based location. See the Starlink Specifications for details on the typical performance. Service activation and associated billing cannot be paused under the Residential Lite Service Plan. The Residential Lite Service Plan includes an unlimited amount of “Deprioritized” data. Deprioritized data that is assigned to users is always deprioritized as compared to other Starlink Fixed Service Plans, resulting in degraded Service and slower speeds in congested areas and during peak hours, as described in the Fair Use Policy. Residential Lite Service users are able to upgrade to any other Service Plan. The Residential Lite Service Plan is not permitted for business or enterprise uses. If bandwidth patterns consistently exceed what is allocated to a typical residential user, Starlink may take network management measures, such as temporarily reducing a customer's speeds, to prevent or mitigate congestion of the Services.

Residential Service Plan. The Residential Service Plan is designed for personal, family, or household use at a fixed land-based location. See the Starlink Specifications for details on the typical performance. Service activation and associated billing cannot be paused under the Residential Plan. The Residential Service Plan includes an unlimited amount of “Residential” data. In times of network congestion and during peak usage hours, users may experience slower speeds and reduced performance which may result in degradation or unavailability of certain third-party services or applications, as described in the Fair Use Policy. Bandwidth intensive applications, such as streaming videos, gaming, or downloading large files are most likely to be impacted during peak usage hours. Customers with high bandwidth needs that experience Service degradation resulting from Starlink’s network management practices are able to upgrade to a Priority Service Plan. Supplemental customer support for business or government specific requests (e.g., modified invoicing or tax-exempt certifications) are only available under Starlink’s Priority Service Plans and may not be supported under Residential Service Plan subscriptions. The Residential Service Plan is not permitted for business or enterprise uses. If bandwidth patterns consistently exceed what is allocated to a typical residential user, Starlink may take network management measures, such as temporarily reducing a customer's speeds, to prevent or mitigate congestion of the Services. Depending on your country, Mini Kits may not be used with the Residential Service Plan.
Priority Service Plan. The Priority Service Plans (available on “Business”) are designed for high demand users, as well as businesses, governments and institutions at fixed land-based locations. See the Starlink Specifications for details on the typical performance. Service use and associated billing cannot be paused under the Priority Service Plans. The Priority Service Plans assign a set amount of “Priority” data to customers each month, as described in the Fair Use Policy. Priority data is given network precedence over Standard and Mobile data, meaning users will experience faster and more consistent download and upload speeds. Unused Priority data does not rollover to the next month. If you have exhausted your Priority data in a given month, you are able to purchase additional Priority data or upgrade your Service Plan (see Section 2.4(b)). Customers who exhaust and have not purchased additional Priority data will be allocated an unlimited amount of Standard data for the remainder of the month, which may result in slower speeds and reduced performance compared to customers with Priority data.
Roam Service Plans.
a) Roam Unlimited Service Plan. Starlink Roam Unlimited Service Plans allow you to access Services at any destination where Starlink provides active coverage and is designed for low demand, land-based use, such as travel, camping or nomadic living. The Roam Unlimited Service Plan allows you to access Roam Unlimited Services at any land-based destination and in any coastal waters (up to 12 nautical miles off the coast; up to 5 consecutive days at a time and for a total of 60 days over the course of a year) where Starlink provides active coverage around the world. See the Starlink FAQs for more information. Roam Unlimited Services cannot be used on the open ocean. Roam Unlimited Services can be used in motion (up to 100 MPH or 160 KPH) and can be paused and un-paused at any time. When un-paused, the monthly Roam Unlimited subscription fee will be charged immediately, on a pro-rated basis. If you use Roam Unlimited Services for more than two months in a country that is different than your account address, Starlink may require you to move your registered address to your new location or return to the country listed as your account address. See the Starlink FAQs for more information. Starlink may immediately suspend your Services if your new location is not in an authorized territory (marked “Available or Waitlist”) on the Starlink map: www.starlink.com/map. Starlink Roam Unlimited Service charges will be ongoing until you pause the Service via your Starlink account. The Roam Unlimited Service Plan is not permitted for business or enterprise uses.

Customers using mobility features to access Services in other countries will be subject to the local laws of that country.
b) Roam 50GB Plan. The Roam 50GB Plan has the same characteristics as the Roam Unlimited Service Plan, but assigns a set amount of Roam data to customers each month, as described in the Fair Use Policy. Unused Roam data does not rollover to the next month. If you have exhausted your Roam data in a given month, you are able to purchase additional GB of Roam data. Customers who exhaust and have not purchased additional Roam data will be unable to connect to the internet except to access their Starlink account on www.starlink.com, where additional Roam data can be purchased, so that you may reconnect to the internet. Roam 50GB Plan Service users are able to switch to other Service Plans.
c) Roam Data. The Roam Unlimited Service Plan includes an unlimited amount of “Roam” data. Roam data that is assigned to users is typically deprioritized as compared to other Starlink Service Plans, resulting in degraded Service and slower speeds in congested areas and during peak hours, as described in the Fair Use Policy. See Starlink Specifications for details on the expected performance. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of the Service are not guaranteed and are highly dependent on geographical areas. Roam Unlimited Service users with high bandwidth, ocean or active coverage access needs are able to upgrade their Service Plan.
Mobile Priority Service Plans.
a) Global Land, Ocean, In-Motion Coverage. Starlink Mobile Priority Service Plans (available on “Maritime”, “Mobility”, and “Roam”) allow you to access Services at any destination around the world where Starlink provides active coverage. It is designed for high bandwidth or in-motion users who want global land plus ocean access, such as shippers and sailors. The Service can be paused and un-paused at any time. When un-paused, the monthly Mobile Priority subscription fee will be charged immediately, on a pro-rated basis. If you use Mobile Priority Services for more than two months in a country that is different than your shipping address, Starlink may require you to move your registered address to your new location. Starlink may immediately suspend your Services if your new location is not in an authorized territory (marked “Available or Waitlist”) on the Starlink map: www.starlink.com/map. Mobile Priority Service charges will be ongoing until you pause the Service via your Starlink account.
b) Mobile Priority Data. The Mobile Priority Service Plans assign a set amount of “Mobile Priority” data to customers each month. Mobile Priority data is given network precedence over Standard and Mobile data, meaning users will experience faster and more consistent download and upload speeds, as described in the Fair Use Policy. See Starlink Specifications for details on the expected performance. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of the Service are not guaranteed and are highly dependent on geographical areas. Unused Mobile Priority data does not rollover to the next month. After a user’s Mobile Priority data is exhausted each month, behavior of the Service will depend on where Starlink is being used:
For inland coverage (including lakes and rivers), after Mobile Priority data is exhausted, users will receive unlimited Mobile data, which will result in slower speeds and degradation of bandwidth intensive applications during times of network congestion. Additional Mobile Priority data is available by opting into paying for additional data per GB via your Starlink app or account.
For ocean coverage, after Mobile Priority data is exhausted, users will be unable to connect to the internet except to access their Starlink account on www.starlink.com, where additional Mobile Priority data can be purchased, so that a user may reconnect to the internet.
See Section 2.4(b) and the Fair Use Policy for payment details on opting in and out of additional Mobile Priority data.
Limitations on Mobility Services. Supplemental customer support for enterprise, institutional or government specific requests (e.g., modified invoicing or tax-exempt certifications) is only available under Starlink’s Mobile Priority Service Plans and not the Roam Service Plans. Starlink does not guarantee when or where Starlink Roam or Mobile Priority Services will be available. Such Services are dependent on many factors, including obtaining or maintaining the necessary regulatory approvals which are subject to change.
