SpaceX Boosts Starlink Roam Plan Price, Adds 'Roam Unlimited' with In-Motion and International Usage Features
  • SpaceX has announced an increase in the monthly fee for its Starlink Roam plan, raising it from $150 to $165 and rebranding it as 'Roam Unlimited.'

  • These changes in pricing and service are also impacting users in Europe, although the costs may vary by region.

  • Subscribers can now use their Starlink dish internationally in supported countries for up to two months and receive service up to 12 nautical miles offshore.

  • The company justified this price hike by highlighting enhancements to the service and ongoing improvements to the network.

  • The new Roam Unlimited plan introduces the ability for users to utilize Starlink while in motion, accommodating vehicles traveling up to 100 miles per hour, a significant upgrade from the previous limit of 10 miles per hour.

  • Some users have expressed frustration over the price increase, fearing that the changes may prioritize wealthier customers or businesses.

  • In response to customer needs, a more affordable 'Roam 50GB' plan has been introduced for all Roam subscribers, priced at $50 per month with a data limit of 50GB.

  • Previously, SpaceX offered a global roaming plan for $200 a month, but this was raised to $400 due to misuse by some customers, and it is no longer available for new customers.
