Chief adviser greets all involved in Starlink launch in Bangladesh

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday congratulated all concerned with the launch of Starlink in Bangladesh.

Chief Adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder wrote this in a statement posted on his verified Facebook account this morning.

In a post on its X account today, Starlink confirmed its launch in Bangladesh, saying, "Starlink's high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Bangladesh!"

Starlink initially announced two packages—Starlink Residence and Residence Lite—with monthly costs of Tk 6,000 and Tk 4,200, respectively.

There will be a one-time cost of Tk 47,000 for setup equipment, but there is no speed or data limit, Azad said, adding that people can use unlimited data with speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

The deputy press secretary said customers in Bangladesh can order the Starlink service starting today.

Through this, he said, the expectation of launching Starlink in Bangladesh within 90 days has been fulfilled.

Although the cost of the Starlink service is high, this has created a sustainable alternative for premium customers to access high-quality and high-speed internet services, Azad said.

In addition, he said, companies will now have the opportunity to expand their business in areas where fiber or high-speed internet services have not yet reached.

Azad said NGOs, freelancers, and entrepreneurs will now have the assurance of uninterrupted high-speed internet throughout the year.
