SpaceX Raises Prices for Starlink in Ukraine Amid Funding Troubles

The price for Starlink is going up for consumers in Ukraine amid lingering questions over how SpaceX plans to fund the satellite internet service in the war-torn country.

Users in Ukraine reported receiving an email from SpaceX on Tuesday about the price increase, which will raise the monthly cost for Starlink in the country from $65 to $75.

In addition, SpaceX is now charging $700 for the Starlink dish, up from $500. In contrast, a Starlink dish costs $599 for users in the US, followed by a $110 monthly fee for service.

According to the email, SpaceX plans on instituting the $75-per-month internet fee starting on Dec. 29. “If you do not wish to continue your service, you can cancel at any time,” it says.
