DHAKA, May 20, 2025 (BSS) – Starlink has commenced official operations in Bangladesh, offering unlimited data with speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps.

Initially, two packages are available, starting at Taka 4,200 per month, with a one-time setup fee of Taka 47,000 for the necessary equipment.

Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant for the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications, and Information Technology, Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, announced the news in a Facebook post, while Starlink also made the declaration on their official X handle.

The cutting-edge satcom operator commenced operations within its 90-day rollout obligation after the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) granted the satcom operator a license on April 29 to expand satellite-based internet services in Bangladesh.

Taiyeb, in the Facebook post, wrote: “Starlink has officially launched operations in Bangladesh. Yesterday afternoon, they informed me about it over the phone, and this morning, they confirmed the news on their official X (formerly Twitter) account.”

Initially, Starlink is offering two packages: Starlink Residential and Residential Lite. He mentioned that the monthly cost for these packages is Tk 6,000 and Tk 4,200, respectively.

However, there is a one-time equipment cost of Tk 47,000.

Users will enjoy unlimited data with speeds of up to 300 Mbps. There are no speed or data limits with either plan.

The special assistant stated, “From today, customers in Bangladesh can start placing orders. This marks the realization of the Chief adviser's vision to launch the service within 90 days.”

Taiyeb noted that although relatively expensive, Starlink now provides a sustainable, high-quality, high-speed internet option for premium users.

Additionally, he continued, in areas where fiber or fast internet is still unavailable, this service creates new opportunities for businesses to expand and ensures uninterrupted, year-round high-speed internet access for NGOs, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.

He concluded by mentioning, “Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has congratulated everyone involved in making this possible.”

Besides, Starlink in a post on its X account on May 20, said, "Starlink's high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Bangladesh!"
