Phones Canada is excited to share the latest updates on SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service in Canada. Since its launch in 2020, Starlink has quickly gained popularity, now serving over 400,000 active Canadian customers. This makes Canada the second largest market for Starlink outside of the United States, a remarkable achievement that highlights the growing demand for reliable high-speed internet across the country.
Starlink’s success in connecting approximately 3% of Canadian homes demonstrates its effectiveness in providing an alternative to traditional telecom companies like Rogers, Telus, and Bell. With its rapid rate of improvement, Starlink has even been included in Opensignal fixed broadband experience reports, showcasing its competitive video experience that is on par with major players in the industry.
Recently, SpaceX introduced discounts in select provinces through its regional savings program, offering reduced hardware costs from $300 CAD to $199 CAD. Monthly service costs remain at $140 per month, making Starlink an affordable option for many Canadians seeking reliable internet connectivity.
While the latest Starlink Mini dish has yet to be launched in Canada, the service continues to expand rapidly with approximately 6,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit. This growth sets SpaceX and Starlink apart as leaders in satellite internet technology, providing rural Canadians with access to high-speed internet independently and efficiently.
In addition to individual subscriptions, Starlink has also made significant strides through partnerships with companies like Rogers for its Direct to Cell network in Canada. This integration further enhances Starlink’s capabilities within the Canadian telecom landscape, offering innovative solutions for users across the country.
As the Canadian government invests billions in expanding high-speed internet access through traditional means like fibre lines, Starlink remains a direct solution for users looking to bypass slow speeds and high prices associated with traditional providers. Setting up Starlink is simple and convenient – just plug in the satellite dish and point it towards the open sky to get started.
