Residential customers in the UK usually pay from \u00a375 a month ($120 in the USA), plus <del>\u00a3299<\/del> for hardware (currently free for most areas) on the \u2018<em>Standard<\/em>\u2019 unlimited data plan (kit price may vary due to different offers), which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starlink.com\/legal\/documents\/DOC-1470-99699-90?regionCode=GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promises<\/a> UK latency times of 28-36ms, downloads of 103-258Mbps and uploads of 15-26Mbps. Cheaper and more restrictive options also exist for roaming users.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> By the end of 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/starlink\" target=\"_blank\">Starlink<\/a>\u2019s global network had 4.6 million customers (up from 2.3m in 2023) and 87,000 of those were in the UK (up from 42,000 in 2023) \u2013 mostly in rural areas. As of July 2025 Starlink has grown to a total of more than 6 million customers.<\/div>\n<p>One of the most useful features on this service was <strong>Pause Mode<\/strong>, which until now had allowed customers to stop the service (inc. monthly payments) anytime they wanted and then restart it once needed again (handy when using Starlink as a backup or for periodic roaming \/ travel etc.). But customers on their Roam, Residential and Priority plans in the UK (inc. some other countries) have now been informed of an &#8220;<em>upgrade<\/em>&#8221; that sees Pause Mode being replaced by <strong>Standby Mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In Standby Mode customers will remain connected to the service at a significantly reduced speed (seemingly <strong>0.5Mbps<\/strong>) for unlimited data, albeit now at a cost of <strong>\u00a34.50 per month<\/strong>. The move will no doubt annoy some people and the modern internet is extremely difficult to use at such a connection speed, although some people may find it useful for getting basic tasks done (it could also be seen as a really cheap backup plan). But all the same, it would have worked better as an extra option, rather than an enforced replacement.
