SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink is offering 30% off its Residential and Roam plans in select areas of Canada through November 30, according to Tesla North, which reported the promotion on November 5, 2026. The outlet says the discount appears in Starlink-branded material that names Canada in both the main message and the fine print, and that the reduced rate continues for as long as the subscription stays active — making November 30 the deadline to sign up rather than the date the lower price expires.
Key facts
- Residential and Roam — Starlink’s home and travel satellite internet plans — are both covered in select Canadian areas, Tesla North reports.
- November 30 is the end date of the offer; the fine print ties the promotional price to the subscription remaining active.
- It is not advertised as a nationwide discount, and Starlink availability and pricing are set per location, so eligibility turns on the service address.
- Earlier on November 5, the U.S. version of the November promotion named select American areas and described Canada as left out for now, according to the same outlet. The Canadian material is a separate offer with its own location eligibility.
- Neither the report nor the promotional material gives a dollar figure for discounted Canadian service.
The one number the promotion does not give
Because no Canadian price appears in either source, the monthly amount an eligible household would actually pay cannot be stated here. Tesla North says the material is silent on three related points as well: whether hardware is discounted, whether existing subscribers can move onto the offer, and what happens to the promotional rate if a customer later changes plans. The outlet advises confirming each of those before ordering rather than inferring them from the 30% figure.
Equipment is billed separately from service in any case, and SpaceX’s recent hardware decisions have run on their own track — among them the free dish swap it has offered first-generation owners.
Why it matters
A percentage discount is only as informative as the price it is applied to, and Starlink does not quote one national rate. Availability and monthly cost are returned per address, which means two Canadian households a province apart can be shown different base prices — and therefore bank different dollar savings — from the same 30% headline. The figure that settles it is the final monthly service price displayed once an address is checked.
The timing also cuts against the direction SpaceX has taken elsewhere: in the United States it has moved to dynamic pricing of up to $156 a month, reported on this site earlier in November. Read together, the two moves look like one system rather than two policies — rates tuned to local network capacity, discounting where the satellite internet constellation has spare room over a market and charging more where it does not.
Background: what the discounted Roam plans are
The Roam half of the offer is Starlink’s travel product. The detail that follows comes from a May 11, 2026 explainer by basenor — published six months before this promotion and not connected to it — so the prices it lists are standard, pre-discount rates.
basenor said SpaceX had quietly added a Roam 300GB tier at $80 a month, with 90th-percentile download speeds of 300+ Mbps and unlimited low-speed data once the allotment is used, pitched at customers taking “multiple trips a month”; it credited @SawyerMerritt on X with first flagging the tier. Above that sit unlimited options, including a continent-limited plan basenor said saves $50 a month against the top Global Roam tier. Every Roam plan is deprioritised behind local residential subscribers during peak hours in congested areas, it said, and all of them support in-motion use at speeds up to 100 mph as well as coastal and inland water use, with no long-term contracts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of Canada qualify for the 30% discount?
Tesla North says the promotional material names Canada but does not list eligible provinces, communities or postal codes. The only way to confirm is to run the service address through Starlink’s availability checker, which returns both eligibility and the monthly price for that location.
What hardware do the Roam plans use, and what does it cost?
All Roam plans work with the Starlink Mini dish, according to basenor, which listed the kit at $249.99 with an activation discount to $199 for new Roam customers. basenor says the Mini measures 298.5 x 259 x 38.5 mm, weighs 1.1 kg, includes a Wi-Fi 5 router, draws 25–40W, is IP67-rated and must be pointed manually.
Can a Roam subscription be paused instead of cancelled?
Yes. basenor reports that service can be paused at any time on any Roam tier. It says Standby Mode keeps low-speed access running for $5 a month, which it describes as useful for seasonal users who do not want to cancel outright.
How long can Global Roam be used outside the home country?
basenor says the top Global Roam tier reaches the 150-plus countries and territories where Starlink operates, but caps continuous international use at two months per trip, after which the user must return to their home country to keep the service active.
