Starlink Plans and Pricing NZ

Current Starlink Pricing in NZ

These figures reflect the standard consumer-facing plan and hardware, business and priority-tier plans typically cost more in exchange for reduced congestion during peak demand. Starlink pricing has changed more than once as the service has scaled in NZ, so always confirm current rates directly before budgeting for a new install or a plan change.

What Affects Your Plan Choice

• Fixed vs mobile use: a permanently installed rural property has different needs than a vehicle or vessel that moves between coverage areas
• Priority data needs: businesses running critical operations, EFTPOS, cloud software, video calls, benefit from priority tiers that reduce congestion slowdowns
• Number of users and devices: a busy office or multiple staff working simultaneously needs more consistent throughput than a single remote worker
• Backup vs primary connection: a backup-only connection can often run on a lower tier than a business's sole internet source

Business vs Residential Plans

Residential plans are the most cost-effective option and work well for many small operations, farms and remote sites where occasional congestion during peak hours is an acceptable trade-off. Business and priority plans cost more but are worth it where a dropped or slow connection has a genuine operational cost, EFTPOS processing, safety-critical communications, or client-facing video calls.
