Is Starlink available in Jordan in 2025 — and how much does it cost?

Short answer

Yes — Starlink (SpaceX’s low-Earth-orbit broadband service) became available in Jordan in 2025. Exact local pricing can vary and Starlink lists country-specific rates on its site, but the company’s common residential plan tiers and hardware fees provide a strong baseline for estimating monthly and one-off costs.

Why Jordanians are talking about Starlink

Jordan has a mix of modern urban connections and rural areas where fixed broadband is limited. Satellite internet like Starlink promises high speeds and lower latency than older satellite systems, making it attractive for remote homes, small businesses, education, and emergency/resilience uses. The Jordanian telecom regulator and news outlets reported Starlink’s activation in the country in 2025, which opened the door for residents and companies to subscribe.

What “available” means in practice

“Available” usually means:

• Starlink has regulatory permission or has launched commercial service in the country.

• Residents can check Starlink’s ordering/coverage page, enter an address, and (if service is active in that area) place an order or sign up for updates.

• Local resellers or distributors may begin to sell kits, offer installation, or provide support; shipping / customs may also affect equipment delivery time and final cost.

Starlink plans — the baseline you should know

Starlink’s global service lineup (used as the baseline in many markets in 2025) includes tiers such as:

• Residential / Standard: Full residential service with unlimited data (typical headline price shown on many country pages).

• Residential Lite: A lower-cost option with deprioritized data (less ideal for heavy streaming but cheaper).

• Roam / On-the-Go options: For nomads, RVs, or travel use; billed differently and may have per-GB or roaming restrictions.

Starlink’s public service pages show typical monthly prices (for markets that display USD): for example, many country pages list about $80/month for a “Lite” tier and $120/month for full residential, but local country pages can show different figures and local taxes/currency will apply. Always check the Starlink order page for Jordan to see definitive, up-to-the-minute prices.

Hardware & one-time costs

To use Starlink you need a user terminal (dish + router + cables). Historically, hardware has been a one-time purchase (hundreds of dollars) or was offered under promotions that reduced or staggered that cost. In some markets Starlink introduced subscription packages that can reduce upfront hardware cost (for example, promotions that effectively reduce hardware cost through a 12-month commitment). These programs and one-time fees can change, so check the official Starlink ordering flow for Jordanic terms.

What to expect roughly (estimate only):

• Hardware: Typically several hundred USD (or equivalent) as a one-time fee in many regions (varies by kit — standard kit vs. Mini, maritime, or business packages).

• Monthly subscription: Expect figures in the ballpark of the headline figures above ($80–$120 USD monthly) unless Starlink’s Jordan page lists a different local price. Local VAT/customs or reseller margins can add to the final price in JOD.

Are there Jordan-specific considerations?

1. Currency and taxes. Starlink lists prices either in local currency on country pages or in USD — the final cost you’ll pay may include VAT, customs duties, shipping, and reseller fees if ordered through a local distributor.

2. Installation & line of sight. Starlink works best with an unobstructed sky view. Rooftop mounting or professional installation might be recommended in densely built areas.

3. Resellers & local availability. After launch, local retailers and distributors often appear to sell equipment or provide installation packages — those may carry markups but can speed delivery and support.

How to check current Jordan pricing and order

1. Go to Starlink’s official site and use the address/availability map to check service at your exact location — the order flow will show the official hardware and monthly prices for Jordan if available.

2. Compare local resellers (if any) for shipping speed, installation packages, and warranty handling — only buy from authorized or reputable sellers.

3. Watch for promotions. SpaceX/Starlink periodically changes hardware/subscription offers (for example, plans that lower upfront cost in exchange for commitments). Check The Verge or official Starlink updates for major promotional changes.

Real-world price example (how to interpret numbers)

• If Starlink shows $120/month + $499 hardware on a country page, convert those numbers to Jordanian dinar (JOD) at the current FX rate and then add local VAT/import fees. Reseller offers may bundle installation for a single all-in price. Since these numbers are subject to change and promotions, treat them as an illustration and verify on the Starlink order page for Jordan.

Is Starlink better than local ISPs in Jordan?

• Rural or remote areas: Often yes — Starlink can provide broadband where fiber/DSL are unavailable.

• Urban areas with fiber: Local fiber or cable providers may offer similar or better value (lower latency, no equipment import). Compare speed, price, and data policy before switching.

• Latency & reliability: Starlink’s lower-Earth orbit satellites typically deliver lower latency than older geostationary satellite internet, improving video calls and gaming. But real performance depends on congestion and local conditions.

Troubleshooting, support & legal/regulatory notes

• Support: If you order through Starlink, initial setup support is via the Starlink app and online help; if you buy through a local reseller, they may provide on-the-ground installation and first-line support.

• Regulatory: Governments can require licenses or limit certain types of satellite services. Jordan granted regulatory approval that paved the way for Starlink’s entry; official statements and telecom regulator pages are the best sources for legal details.

FAQ

Q: Is Starlink already selling to consumers in Jordan?
A: Yes — media and industry reports confirm Starlink launched service in Jordan in 2025; precise availability depends on your address and Starlink’s coverage map.

Q: How much will it cost per month?
A: Starlink’s common publicly shown tiers (in many markets) are in the $80–$120/month range for residential service, but check the Starlink Jordan order page for the exact JOD price and whether taxes apply.

Q: How much is the hardware?
A: Hardware has commonly been several hundred USD, but promotions and new subscription options can change the effective upfront charge. Verify current hardware fees in the Starlink checkout for Jordan.

Q: Can I use Starlink while traveling?
A: Starlink offers “Roam/On-the-Go” options that support travel but those plans can have different pricing or per-GB rules. Check plan details for international travel or RV use.

Final tips for Jordanians considering Starlink

1. Check the Starlink order/coverage map first — it’s the definitive source for availability and official prices in Jordan.

2. Factor in import/taxes if you buy hardware through global sellers — an all-in local reseller offer might be easier even if slightly pricier upfront.

3. Compare use cases: if you need heavy streaming or a fixed household connection and fiber is available, compare total monthly cost and speeds; if you’re remote, Starlink can be transformative.
