Starlink Internet in Bangladesh 2025: Pricing, Plans & What to Expect
Starlink has officially entered the Bangladeshi internet market, bringing high-speed satellite connectivity to underserved and rural areas. For years, internet users in Bangladesh have struggled with slow speeds and unreliable connections, especially outside urban centers. Now, Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starlink promises to change the game with its low-earth orbit satellite network and unlimited bandwidth.
What Is Starlink Internet?
Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX, designed to provide fast, reliable internet to areas where traditional fiber or mobile networks can’t reach. Unlike traditional ISPs that rely on underground cables or towers, Starlink uses thousands of small satellites orbiting the Earth to deliver internet virtually anywhere.
This makes it ideal for remote villages, freelancers, NGOs, disaster response teams, and anyone in rural or low-infrastructure regions.
Is Starlink Available in Bangladesh?
Yes, Starlink is now officially available in Bangladesh. After starting trial operations on April 9, 2025, and receiving investment registration approval from the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) in March 2025, the service launched nationwide on May 20, 2025. This made Bangladesh the second South Asian country, after Bhutan, to access Starlink’s advanced satellite internet technology.
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) completed the necessary licensing, enabling the full commercial rollout and bringing high-speed satellite internet to users across the country.

There are also plans to offer microfinancing and soft loans for rural users and service providers working in education, health, and local governance.
