Starlink Launches Permanent 30% Discount on Canadian Residential and Roam Plans

SpaceX has introduced a permanent 30% discount on Starlink Residential and Roam plans in Canada, cutting prices to $52.50/month for Residential and $52.50 for Roam 100GB. The offer applies to eligible areas and persists for the life of the subscription.

Starlink Launches Permanent 30% Discount on Canadian Residential and Roam Plans

SpaceX has launched a permanent 30% discount on Starlink Residential and Roam internet plans in Canada. Unlike previous promotions that expired after 3–24 months, this discount remains in effect for as long as the customer's subscription stays active. The offer was confirmed via an email to Canadian subscribers on Thursday, November 5, 2026, though Starlink's own website does not yet prominently advertise the deal.

What the discount means for monthly costs

The price reduction applies to both major plan tiers:

  • Residential: $75/month (100 Mbps) → $52.50; $115/month (200 Mbps) → $80.50; $150/month (Residential Max) → $105
  • Roam: $75/month (100 GB) → $52.50; $110/month (300 GB) → $77; $200/month (Unlimited) → $140

All prices are in Canadian dollars. The discount is applied at the order page — customers must confirm their address is in an eligible area, and the promotional pricing updates after a brief delay on the checkout screen.

Why this matters for EV and tech households in Canada

For EV owners who rely on home charging dashboards, fleet-management apps, or Starlink-equipped vehicles for connectivity in rural and northern Canada, the 30% reduction meaningfully lowers the monthly cost of staying connected. The Roam tier at $52.50 for 100 GB is now competitive with rural cellular plans, making it a practical backup or primary connection for remote properties where Starlink is the only viable broadband option.

The permanent nature of the discount — as opposed to the 3-to-24-month trial periods Starlink has used previously — signals a more aggressive pricing strategy in the Canadian market, potentially in response to competition from Telesat Lightspeed and the federal government's satellite diversification push.

Key details

  • Availability: Eligible Canadian areas only; verify address at order
  • Duration: Permanent (no expiry date stated)
  • Plans affected: Residential (all tiers) and Roam (all tiers)
  • How to confirm: Visit the Starlink Canada order page and enter your address; promotional pricing will appear after a brief loading delay
