Additional Data Purchase

Starlink’s $9 backup plan offers 5GB of data, with additional data available at AU$3 per GB. While this provides a low-cost option, some customers have expressed frustration over Starlink’s pricing, questioning when loyal users will see more affordable plans. Check out a customer review below:

For those seeking a cheaper alternative to the standard AU$139 plan, this backup option may help, though heavy data users could find the add-on costs high. Purchases are easily made through the Starlink app.

Target Audience

Starlink’s $9 per month backup plan is designed for existing or former customers who need an affordable secondary internet option. It is not available to new users and must be activated under the “Backup” plan for a preexisting Starlink dish.

Key demographics:

• Rural residents with few wired providers and no phone service.
• Households needing emergency connectivity during outages.
• Students or budget-conscious users requiring occasional internet access.

This plan ensures users stay online when primary connections fail.
