Starlink has introduced a new Residential Lite plan in Malaysia, offering a more affordable entry point to its satellite internet service. As the name suggests, this plan comes with reduced download and upload speeds compared to the standard Residential option.
Priced at RM129 per month, the new entry-level plan is significantly cheaper than the standard Residential subscription, which costs RM220 monthly. According to Starlink’s support page, users on the Lite plan can expect download speeds between 45Mbps and 130Mbps, while upload speeds typically range from 10Mbps to 20Mbps. Despite the lower performance, the plan still retains a key benefit of the standard offering – there are no data or speed caps.
Just like the standard plan, a hardware kit is required to access the service. The Starlink Standard V4 kit can be purchased directly from the official website for RM1,600. It is also available in Malaysia via authorised dealers including Redtone, MEASAT, SenHeng, TMT and others.
Starlink notes that Residential Lite users have the option to upgrade to the standard plan at any time. While it’s not officially confirmed whether existing standard users can downgrade to the Lite plan, a Reddit user claims this is possible – at least in some regions.
To upgrade from the Lite plan, log into your account at Starlink.com, go to the “Subscription” section, select “Manage” under the “Service Plan” box, and click “Change Plan” to select your desired option. Alternatively, using the Starlink mobile app, tap the “Person” icon, choose the relevant service from the list, then select “Manage Subscription” followed by “Change Service Plan.”
