Starlink, via its newly created Twitter account, just announced that it launched in Trinidad and Tobago. 🇹🇹
The launch in Trinidad & Tobago represents Starlink’s 58th commercial market and one of many in the Caribbean, including Panama and Haiti, among others.
The Residential package, Starlink’s most commonly adopted plan, is priced at TTD365 (~ US$54) per month, which is roughly in line with pricing in surrounding markets.
Additionally, subscribers pay a one-time hardware fee of TTD3,900 (~ US$575), plus shipment and handling fees of TTD154 (~ US$24).
Make sure to check our global price list for an updated version of all the countries Starlink is available in as well as how much it charges in each of those locations.
Around 10 days ago, Starlink received an operating license from the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT), thus enabling it to legally operate.
It was granted a ‘Type 2 Concession for the Provision of a Public Domestic Fixed (via satellite) Telecommunications Network and Public Domestic Fixed Telecommunications Services on a National Geographic Scale’, valid for ten years.
Interestingly, Starlink wasn’t the only internet provider that received a license. Blue Mobile Network, operated by STAR, will soon introduce its own mobile network.
Meanwhile, the specifically incorporated company, dubbed Starlink Internet Services Trinidad and Tobago, is based in Port of Spain.
Starlink enters a relatively modest market opportunity given Trinidad and Tobago’s total population of 1.56 million people and internet penetration rate of around 71 percent.
However, Trinidad and Tobago is also a fairly popular sailing destination, thus giving subscribers of Starlink’s new Mobility option another destination to enjoy unlimited high-speed data.
Hi would internet work when there is bad weather?
Hi Raquel, this post should answer your question: https://starlinkinsider.com/starlink-bad-weather/
In short, yes should be fine in most cases. Heavy rain may cause interruptions, though.
Good day, very interested in this service, more details on this would be required.

“The launch in Mozambique represents Starlink’s 58th commercial market and one of many in the Caribbean, including Panama and Haiti, among others.”
MOZAMBIQUE is nowhere in the caribbean please correct your article to reflect that.
Hi Daniel, was obviously referring to T&T, which I corrected. Thanks for the heads-up!
