How much does it cost
to install Starlink?

You need to add up three separate items. The first is the Standard kit, which costs €419 excluding VAT. The second is installation, which starts at €350 excluding VAT, with the exact figure depending on the location: an antenna in a clear garden isn't the same as one on the roof of a Catalan farmhouse with a mast and a long cable run. The third is the Starlink monthly subscription, which is separate, taken out in your name, and which we set up for you. The first two are paid once; the third, every month for as long as you have the service. So when someone asks «how much does Starlink cost», it is worth separating what you pay on installation day from what you pay every month: mixing them up is the quickest way to compare two quotes badly. Once we have seen the site, we give you a fixed quote covering equipment, activation and installation, with no open-ended items.

Because the work varies a lot from one site to another, and a single price would be made up. The €350 excluding VAT is the starting point: a simple installation, with a good patch of open sky near the router, power to hand and a short cable run. From there, specific things push it up: putting the antenna on the roof instead of in the garden, needing a mast with anchors to clear trees or eaves, running a long length of cable and going through a wall or façade, taking power to a point that doesn't have it, or spreading Wi-Fi across a large house. None of these can be known for sure over the phone. That is why we look at the location and check for obstructions first, and then give a fixed figure. The diagnosis and quote are free, and if the price doesn't suit you, there is no obligation.

It depends on the plan, and Starlink's plans change: names, prices and what each one includes have been reorganised more than once, and the residential offer isn't the same as the business one. That is why we don't give a figure in this article, because in a few months it could be wrong. The reliable reference is Starlink's own website, checked at the time you sign up. What we can tell you is how it works with us: the subscription is separate from installation, it is taken out in your name and we handle the activation, so the service contract is yours and doesn't depend on us. Before you choose a plan, we explain which one suits your use, because a weekend farmhouse doesn't need the same as a warehouse where people work every day, and we recommend checking the minimum term carefully if fibre has been announced for your street.

In that case you only pay for installation, which starts at €350 excluding VAT, and not for the kit. It is a common situation: someone buys the equipment themselves, leaves it in the garden or on a windowsill to try it out, and the connection works on and off. Often the problem isn't the equipment but where it has been put, so the first thing we do is review the location: find a spot with clear sky, check for obstructions with Starlink's tool and decide where the cable comes in before fixing anything. From there, installation is quoted just as if you had bought the kit from us, with the same factors: roof or garden, whether a mast is needed, the length of cable, the route through the wall and power at the mounting point. The quote is agreed before we start, and the visit to prepare it is free.

No. If there is a spot in the garden or on a terrace with clear sky to the north, the antenna can go on a simple mount and no mast appears on the quote. A mast comes in when no such spot exists at ground level: tall trees, eaves, the neighbour's roof or the house itself blocking part of the cone of sky the antenna needs. Raising the antenna a few metres is usually the way to clear those obstructions, and that requires a rigid mast firmly anchored to a wall or the roof, because a long, thin one sways in the wind and knocks the antenna out of alignment. It is one of the items that most pushes installation above the starting price of €350 excluding VAT, and also one of the most noticeable afterwards: a good patch of sky is the difference between a stable connection and drop-outs that come and go for no apparent reason.

Yes, the kit is designed so that anyone can plug it in, and in a clear garden next to the house it can work well. The trouble starts when the site isn't so easy, which is exactly where Starlink tends to be needed: farmhouses surrounded by trees, long warehouses, stone houses. There, the typical mistakes are leaving the antenna on the ground with obstructions that cut the signal now and then, running the cable through a window or door where it ends up pinched and wet, or assuming the router's Wi-Fi will reach the whole house. None of these mistakes show on day one: they show up as random drop-outs weeks later. If you decide to install it yourself, check the sky with the Starlink app from the exact spot before fixing anything. If you would rather we did it, installation starts at €350 excluding VAT and the quote is free.

No. Both prices we publish, the Standard kit at €419 and installation from €350, exclude VAT, like all the other prices on the website. The written quote you receive, on the other hand, always breaks down the amount with VAT included, so you know exactly what you will pay before accepting. The Starlink monthly subscription is a different matter: we don't charge it, it is in your name directly with Starlink, and its terms, taxes included, are whatever Starlink shows when you sign up. If you have questions about any particular figure, ask when you request the quote and we will confirm it in writing before you decide anything.

No. The diagnosis and quote are free, as with all our services. We come to the address, check whether Starlink really is the best option for you, because if fibre reaches you or there is a radio link with good line of sight it is sometimes the better choice, look at the sky from the possible spots with the obstructions tool, decide where the cable would go and whether a mast or a new power supply is needed, and with that we give you a fixed figure covering equipment, activation and installation. From there, it is up to you. If the price doesn't suit you, you leave it there with no obligation. We prefer to do it this way because any exact figure given over the phone, without seeing the site, would be a made-up number, and it is the kind of number that never matches the invoice.
