Starlink Hikes Monthly Subscription Price by 97% to N75,000

The company, owned by Mr Elon Musk, who also owns the popular social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, has already informed its customers of this development.

At the moment, the subscription rate is N38,000 per month, but the 97.37 per cent increase will take effect next month for existing customers.

In a notice to its users on Friday, Starlink, however, said new users will pay the new price of N75,000 per month for the residential package, explaining that the price hike was due to high operational costs in the country.

This is not the first time Starlink is raising its monthly service plan but at the last time, it was prevailed on by the government to reverse the action.

In the statement yesterday, the ISP said it had to jack up the price in its efforts to maintain delivery of high-quality internet service across the country and enhance its network infrastructure.

“These changes reflect our commitment to investing in the infrastructure needed to support and improve your experience with Starlink,” a part of the disclosure stated.

According to the notice, the Standard Residential will now cost N75,000, the Mobile – Regional Roam Unlimited Package will go for N167,000, and the Mobile – Global Roam Bouquet is now N717,000.

However, it advised subscribers who want to cancel their subscriptions to do so at their convenience.
