Starlink has made a significant change to Residential service by eliminating the option for new customers to purchase hardware outright. Instead, all new Residential customers are now provided equipment through a $10/month rental program.
While the change lowers the upfront cost of getting started with Starlink, it also means new Residential customers no longer own their hardware and cannot use features such as Standby Mode. Existing Residential customers who already own their equipment are not affected by this change.
Check out the video for some tips on how to still purchase a Standard Dish for use on Residential service.
