Are you ready to hop onto the Starlink satellite internet bandwagon but feel the upfront costs are too much? Well, you’re in for some fantastic news. Starlink, the satellite internet service by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, just announced a new rental plan for its hardware kit in Kenya. Yes, you heard that right — now you can rent the Starlink kit and enjoy high-speed internet without breaking the bank.
The lowdown on the Starlink rental plan
Starlink’s latest offer allows you to rent the standard hardware kit for only Kshs 1,950 monthly. Along with that, there’s a one-time activation fee of Kshs 2,700. To sweeten the deal, service plans start at a budget-friendly Kshs 1,300 per month for 50GB of data. This makes Starlink’s blazing speeds of up to 200+ Mbps more accessible than ever before.
Oh, and did I mention? You can easily pay for all of this using mobile money options like M-Pesa and Airtel Money. It’s as easy as buying your daily groceries.
This isn’t the first time Starlink has made headlines in Kenya. Just last month, we reported on another exciting development — Starlink slashed the price of its standard hardware kit from Kshs 45,500 to just Kshs 29,999. This was a huge deal considering the kit originally launched at a whopping Kshs 89,000 last year. Throw in shipping and delivery, and the total cost could easily soar past Kshs 92,000. However, the price cuts earlier this year have made Starlink more attainable, and now, with the new rental plan, it’s practically irresistible.
Back in April, Starlink halved the price to Kshs 45,500, a move that got Kenyans buzzing. The price has since dropped even further, giving more people a chance to experience the futuristic speeds that Starlink offers. And if you’re someone who likes to keep an eye on your data usage, the 50GB data package for Kshs 1,300 per month is a game-changer.
Why this matters to Kenyans
This rental option could be a game-changer for many Kenyans, especially those in remote areas where traditional internet service providers just don’t cut it. Whether you’re working remotely, streaming your favorite shows, or running a small business, Starlink’s rental plan offers an affordable and flexible way to stay connected.
In a country where reliable internet access can be hard to come by, Starlink’s new rental plan opens doors for more people to enjoy fast, reliable internet without the steep upfront costs. Plus, with the convenience of mobile money payments, getting started with Starlink is easier than ever.
So, if you’ve been on the fence about trying Starlink, now’s the perfect time to take the plunge. With the kit rental plan, you can test the waters without committing to a big purchase up front. And who knows? You might just fall in love with the speeds and reliability that only Starlink can offer.
