This article contains affiliate links, marked as “ad”.

Order Starlink in 6 steps

1. Open the order page. Via our referral link (ad) or directly on starlink.com. Only the link attaches the referral bonus to your order.
2. Enter your address. Starlink instantly shows whether your address is covered, which plans exist there and the exact kit and monthly price.
3. Choose a plan. “Residential” (or “Residential Lite” where offered) for a home, “Roam” for campers, boats and travel.
4. Choose a kit. Standard kit for a fixed location, Starlink Mini for travel. Add a mount and cable extension if you install on a roof or wall.
5. Pay. By card; the kit and the first month are charged at checkout. The invoice arrives by e-mail.
6. Plug in and activate. Set up the dish with a clear view of the sky, power it on, open the Starlink app – you are online within minutes.

Buy Starlink direct or in a shop?

Direct from Starlink you always get the current price for your address, Starlink promotions and the referral bonus. In electronics stores you only buy the hardware; you still activate the plan in the Starlink app. Retail is worth it if the kit is cheaper there or you need it the same day.

Note: the referral bonus only applies to orders on starlink.com.

Our own Starlink in Vienna – real photos

We know what we are talking about: we have been paying Starlink customers ourselves since May 2026 (Mini kit in May, roof-rack mount in July, second kit in August). We actually have two Starlinks: one at home and one for travelling – for camping 🏕️ and wherever we happen to be, because we never rely on the local internet working. Set up by ourselves on a balcony in Vienna: dish on the railing, power supply at the outdoor socket, free view of the sky – that is all you need. In our flat it also works indoors; if you need a stronger signal, simply put the dish outside on the balcony or window sill using the long cable. Inside, the Starlink router spreads the Wi-Fi – and wired devices plug straight in via LAN cable. Our real-world test: according to the Starlink app the dish on the balcony is partly obstructed (about 1.2 % blocked time) and even “misaligned” – yet our internet runs wonderfully, hundreds of gigabytes without problems. Speed test exactly like this, partly obstructed: 164.8 Mbit/s download, 19.1 Mbit/s upload, 41 ms ping. With a clear view – terrace, roof, meadow or campsite – it is of course even better – the numbers go up even further.

Which plan when ordering?

• Residential – fixed home, full performance, cancel monthly.
• Residential Lite – cheaper, deprioritised at peak times; good for holiday homes and light use.
• Roam – for travel in Europe; can be paused between trips.

Referral bonus when ordering

Starlink rewards new customers who order through an existing customer’s link. The current bonus is shown during checkout. It costs you nothing extra. Order via our referral link (ad).

Delivery and withdrawal

The kit ships by parcel service, in Austria usually within a few working days. Consumers buying online in the EU have a 14-day right of withdrawal – keep the box until you know reception works at your spot.

Check before you order

• Clear sky: trees and buildings to the north are the usual problem – run the obstruction check in the Starlink app first.
• Mounting: roof, wall or pole need the right mount. In and around Vienna we do the installation.
