Our Starlink Review
Starlink is SpaceX's low-earth orbit satellite internet service — and for the approximately 1 in 8 Canadians living in rural or remote areas without cable or fibre access, it is the most significant advance in internet connectivity in decades. Unlike traditional geostationary satellites, Starlink's low-orbit constellation delivers 20–40 ms latency instead of 600+ ms, making video calls, gaming, and real-time applications genuinely viable from any location. The Residential 200 plan at $115/mo is expensive compared to urban cable, but competitive with rural alternatives when you account for the quality gap. The trade-off is the ~$649 hardware cost upfront and occasional weather-related speed variation. If you live outside cable and fibre coverage and have a clear view of the northern sky, Starlink is almost certainly the best internet option available.

Starlink — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Starlink cost in Canada?
Starlink hardware is approximately $649 (one-time purchase for the dish and router). Monthly plans start at $75/mo (Residential 100), $115/mo (Residential 200), and $150/mo (Residential Max at 400+ Mbps). There is no contract — cancel anytime. The hardware cost is the primary barrier for most customers.
Is Starlink available everywhere in Canada?
Yes. Starlink is available across all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, including northern and remote communities. Unlike cable or DSL, Starlink coverage does not depend on ground infrastructure — only on having a clear, unobstructed view of the northern sky at your installation location.
Is Starlink better than Xplore for rural internet?
For most rural Canadian addresses, yes — significantly. Starlink's latency is 20–40 ms vs. Xplore's legacy satellite at 600+ ms. Starlink's speeds (100–400 Mbps) also far exceed Xplore's satellite tiers. Where Xplore's fibre or 5G Ultra wireless is available, those options can match Starlink on performance. But for pure satellite-to-satellite comparison, Starlink wins clearly.
What is the Starlink hardware cost in Canada?
The standard Starlink Kit — dish, mounting base, and Wi-Fi router — costs approximately $649. A roof or pole mount is available separately. The dish requires a clear, unobstructed view of the sky toward the north. Most installations are DIY-friendly and take under an hour.
Can Starlink handle video calls and gaming?
Yes. Starlink's low-earth orbit delivers 20–40 ms latency — low enough for Zoom calls, online gaming, and real-time applications that traditional satellite internet (600+ ms) cannot support. Most Residential plans handle 4K streaming, video conferencing, and competitive gaming without issues.
