Starlink Installation Cost in 2026: Kit, Subscription and Professional Setup
What does Starlink cost in total?
It is the first question our clients ask. Your Starlink budget breaks down into three parts: the hardware kit, the monthly subscription and, if you want a durable setup, the professional installation. Here are the price ranges observed in 2026 (indicative, subject to change by SpaceX).
1. The Starlink kit
The Starlink kit (Gen4 or GenX dish, WiFi router, cable and power supply) costs around €500 to buy. Starlink also offers the kit for rent, directly when subscribing on their website — convenient if you prefer not to pay for the hardware upfront. For demanding business use, higher-performance hardware exists at higher prices.
Depending on your roof, you may also need:
- A suitable mounting kit (pole, chimney, wall, flat roof),
- A cable extension if the dish sits far from the router,
- A waterproof cable grommet for a clean wall entry.
2. The monthly subscription
Starlink offers three residential plans, all commitment-free with unlimited data:
- Residential 100 Mbit/s — from €35/month: reliable connectivity for everyday home use.
- Residential 200 Mbit/s — from €45/month: comfortable daily use (video calls, streaming, cloud).
- Residential Max — from €65/month: the best available speeds, up to over 400 Mbit/s.
In practice, expect €40 to €70 per month depending on current discounts. Our advice: Residential 200 Mbit/s covers most households; choose Residential Max for intensive remote work, large connected families or properties with many devices. Roam and Business plans are priced differently.
3. Professional installation
Our installations start from €500 excl. VAT. The final price depends on the complexity of the job:
- roof type (canal tiles, slate, flat roof),
- height and accessibility,
- cable length and routing,
- indoor network configuration (router, mesh, RJ45 sockets).
At Satellite Internet 06, quotes are free and delivered within 72h, with a complimentary technical visit and a 3-year warranty on the mount. A proper installation protects your roof (waterproofing), secures the hardware against wind and maximises speed by eliminating obstructions.

Is Starlink worth it compared to the alternatives?
In white zones or poorly served areas of the Alpes-Maritimes and Var, the alternatives are usually:
- end-of-life ADSL (the copper network is being decommissioned),
- 4G/5G saturated in high season,
- fiber connection works that can be very expensive for isolated homes.
Against that, Starlink delivers 150 to 300 Mbps from day one, with no civil engineering works. See our detailed comparison: Starlink vs Fiber in white zones.
Conclusion
Budget around €500 for the kit (or rent it through Starlink), €35 to €65 per month for the subscription depending on the plan, and a professional installation from €500 excl. VAT depending on your home. For a precise, personalised estimate anywhere in the Alpes-Maritimes and Var, the easiest way is to request your online quote.
