Starlink VP Lauren Dreyer Says Service Pricing Not Live For India: Here's What Happened

Yesterday, the pricing for Starlink satellite internet service in India got revealed via the official website of the platform. However, it has been confirmed by Starlink Vice President Lauren Dreyer that the pricing is not live for India, and the same was nothing but a dummy test that got live because of a configuration glitch. She shared a post on X saying, 'The Starlink India website is not live, service pricing for customers in India has not yet been announced, and we are not taking orders from customers in India. There was a configuration glitch that briefly made dummy test data visible, but those numbers do not reflect the actual cost of Starlink service in India. The glitch was quickly fixed. We're eager to connect the people of India with

Starlink's high-speed internet, and our teams are focused on obtaining final government approvals to turn service (and the website) on.'

What Actually Happened Then?

The pricing of Starlink India residential plans surfaced on the official website for multiple regions in India, which created a wave and was covered by multiple media organisations. However, one major thing to note here is that the same is dummy pricing, which means we can expect an entirely different pricing slab when the service finally makes a debut in the Indian market.Also Read: Starlink Price In India, Release Date, Availability, Plans, Speeds, And More, Everything We Know So FarAs of now, Starlink is speeding up the process for everything from setup to operational hiring so that the services can be deployed in the country at the earliest.
