Recently, the prices of residential plans on Starlink India were revealed. However, after the prices were revealed, Lauren Dreyer, Vice President of Starlink Business Operations, explained that the test data was made public due to a glitch on the site.
Suspense still remains on prices
This means that the suspense over Starlink's pricing in India remains. On December 8th, several reports stated that the company had announced the prices of residential plans.
The plan will cost ₹8,600 per month, with a one-time hardware cost of ₹34,000 (approximately $100,000). This price includes unlimited data and a 30-day free trial. Currently, this price cannot be trusted, as the company denied it, stating that the site is not yet live.
