PCMag reported on November 7, 2026, that Starlink Residential price adjustments were showing up in more U.S. locations. Customers in five additional states reported receiving price-change emails, while selected Starlink.com listings showed increases in named cities. The examples point to changes in particular areas, not a single nationwide price.

Where customers reported changes

PCMag said Starlink had introduced location-based Residential pricing in certain areas of Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska during the week before its November 7 report. Customers in Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Washington and Alaska later reported receiving price-change emails.

The report also described Starlink.com listings with 20% increases in Portland, Oregon; Spokane, Washington; Murphy, North Carolina; El Dorado, Arkansas; and Lafayette, Louisiana. Those listings and customer emails reflect selected locations; they do not specify the price or eligibility for every address.

The Residential Max example adds $26 a month

PCMag reported one Residential Max price change from $130 to $156 per month, a 20% increase. That is $26 more each month. If the difference lasted for a full 12 months, it would add $312 over the year.

The $312 yearly difference depends on the $26 monthly increase lasting all 12 months.

A separate Texas customer account in PCMag described a monthly price moving from $130 to $143. The customer said the $130 rate began in June, but the year was not specified.

Local prices may rise or fall

A SpaceX email quoted by PCMag tied price changes to local network capacity and said prices may change “from time to time.” PCMag also reported customer accounts of reductions of 10% to 20%, and quoted an earlier SpaceX email saying prices in an area may fall as capacity expands.

That earlier email, sent to affected customers in Kansas and Missouri, described reviews as roughly quarterly. The later email used the less specific phrase “from time to time.”

Some customers report limited options to downgrade

In a separate Reddit discussion, commenters said lower-priced 100- or 200-Mbps plans were not offered at their addresses, leaving Residential Max as their reported option. Those accounts describe individual addresses. Other commenters advised using Starlink’s website or a browser to cancel service; that was community advice, not an official procedure.
