Hire or buy?

For a one-off, hiring is cheaper and you don't end up owning a dish. If you'll use it more than a few weeks a year, buying usually wins, and we can set it up for you. Here's what Starlink itself charges in New Zealand, so you can do the sums.

Residential: fixed address, unlimited data
Residential 100 Mbps	$85/mo	Unlimited, speed capped at 100 Mbps
Residential 200 Mbps	$125/mo	Unlimited, speed capped at 200 Mbps
Residential Max	$170/mo	Unlimited, top network priority

Roam: portable, use it anywhere in NZ
Roam 100 GB	$100/mo	100 GB at full speed, slower after. The plan we use for hires
Roam Unlimited	$235/mo	Unlimited, can be paused between trips

Residential is tied to one address. Roam is the plan for anything that moves: events, baches, boats inside 12 nautical miles, and every FestiFi hire.

Local Priority: fixed site, priority data
Local Priority 50 GB	$92/mo	50 GB priority, then standard data
Local Priority 500 GB	$260/mo	500 GB priority, then standard data
Local Priority 1 TB	$470/mo	1 TB priority, then standard data
Local Priority 2 TB	$890/mo	2 TB priority, then standard data

What priority data gets you
Network priority		Your traffic goes ahead of Residential and Roam users when a cell is busy
Public IP		A fixed public IP address, for VPNs, cameras and remote access
Support		Prioritised Starlink support, and a 99.9% uptime target on Priority plans
Global Priority	Ask us	For boats and vehicles crossing borders. Quoted per job

Business plans only make sense on a permanent install. If that's you, the Rural & site page is the place, and we can set up and manage the Starlink account for you.

Hardware (NZD incl. GST, one-off)
Mini	$349–449	Backpack size, runs off USB-C power
Standard	$449–799	Full-size dish, sometimes free on Residential
High Performance	about $5,459	Enterprise dish for demanding sites

Plan prices NZD incl. GST per month, from NZ retailers and resellers, last checked November 2026. Starlink changes them without much notice, so treat these as a guide and check starlink.com for today's numbers.

What you get

Everything in one case, tested before it leaves, with a human on the phone if something's not right.

Charged and tested

Every kit is set up, updated and speed-tested before it goes out. You get it working, not in a box.

A one-page guide

Plug in, point at the sky, connect. If it needs more than that we've done something wrong.

Phone support

Call us during the hire. We can see the dish's status remotely and talk you through anything.

Easy return

Pack it in the case, stick the return label on, drop it at any courier depot.
