Starlink Launches $15 Monthly Kit Rental In Kenya

Satellite Internet Company, Starlink, is offering kit rentals in Kenya for just $15 a month.

The new rental option unveilled, on Wednesday, by the company is designed for those who cannot afford to purchase the Starlink hardware outright. The kit, which retails for $350, can now be rented for $15.15 per month, with an additional one-time activation fee of $21. Customers can choose between a 50GB data plan for $10 or an unlimited package for $50.50, both offering speeds of up to 200 Mbps. For those who prefer to buy the hardware once, the standard Starlink kit is now priced at $350.

Since its launch in Kenya in July, the company has made significant strides in making its service more accessible. The price of the Starlink kit has also been drastically reduced from its initial retail price of $687.26, which was considered prohibitive for many potential customers.

With this low-cost rental option, Starlink aims to bring high-speed internet to more individuals, businesses, and communities across Kenya, including those in remote areas. The satellite-based internet service promises to be a game-changer, enabling greater access to information, education, and economic opportunities throughout the country.
