Starlink costs $120/month for residential service plus a $599 hardware kit upfront. That is $2,039 in the first year. If you are unhappy with the service or found a better option, here is how to cancel — and the critical 30-day window for hardware returns.
No phone call required — Starlink does the cancellation entirely online. Service ends at the end of your current billing period.
⚠️ You have 30 days from delivery to return hardware for a full refund.
If you are past the 30-day return window, the Starlink dish has limited resale value. You can sell it on Facebook Marketplace or eBay for $200-400 — the buyer must transfer it to their Starlink account. Starlink now allows hardware transfers between accounts, making resale possible. Without an active subscription, the dish is a paperweight.
Starlink allows you to pause service for up to 6 months. During the pause, you are not charged the monthly fee but your account stays active. This is useful if you are traveling, between homes, or want to try alternatives without losing your Starlink spot. Unpause anytime from your account page.
Starlink cancellation is easy — fully online, no phone call. The pain point is the hardware: return it within 30 days for a full refund, or sell it on the secondary market after. At $120/month, Starlink only makes sense when you have no other broadband option. If fiber, cable, or 5G reaches your area, switch and save $40-70/month.
