You’ll need a Starlink Kit, which includes your satellite receiver, router, a ground mount kickstand and all the cables you need to get up and running. When you order Telstra Satellite Internet, you can purchase your Starlink Kit through us. Your plan includes a Telstra Smart Modem 4, which we'll send in a separate package. If you cancel or change tech types within 24 months, simply return the modem or pay a $200 non return fee.
Already have a Starlink Kit? You may be able to use it with a Telstra Satellite Internet plan. The Generation 1 Circular Starlink Kit is not compatible. If you own this kit, you’ll need to select a new Starlink Satellite Kit.
If you're using your own modem, we will not know if it supports the full speed of your selected plan. Please check your modem’s specs to confirm compatibility. You should be able to find this on your modem’s label, instruction manual or the modem manufacturer’s website.
