Starlink covers the whole of Belgium, and in September 2026 it costs €29, €49 or €69 a month (VAT included) depending on the Residential speed tier your address is offered, with no upfront hardware cost in selected areas (the Standard kit starts at €349 elsewhere). A professional installation typically costs €250–€450, or around €600 for an all-in package. Starlink is most relevant where fixed broadband is poor or a separate backup line is wanted: the Ardennes, farms and hamlets in Wallonia, second homes on the coast, boats in Nieuwpoort and Zeebrugge, businesses. Adoption is accelerating: about 11,650 Belgian households and businesses were subscribed in August 2026, double the number a year earlier. The figures below were checked on starlink.com on 17 September 2026.
Is Starlink available in Belgium?
Yes: Starlink has covered Belgium since 2021, in Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region. Coverage is not the question in Belgium; capacity and speed are. Belgium is a dense country whose cells are shared with the Netherlands, northern France and Germany, so evening speeds can be lower than in sparsely populated regions. For rural homes with poor fixed or mobile broadband it is often the fastest option available. Enter your address on starlink.com to see the offer for your cell before ordering.
The BIPT (IBPT) authorises Starlink as a satellite operator in Belgium; the user terminal needs no licence. Regional and municipal urbanism rules apply to the dish as to any satellite dish: usually fine on an ordinary house, restricted on protected facades, in some historic centres and in apartment buildings, where the co-owners have a say.
What Starlink costs in Belgium (September 2026)
Starlink restructured its European plans in 2026 around speed tiers and lowered the Belgian entry price. The figures below were checked on starlink.com for Belgium on 17 September 2026, VAT included.

Prices include 21% VAT. There is no minimum term on Residential and the 30-day trial applies to the service. Ordering through a Belgian reseller rather than starlink.com can add a Belgian invoice, support in French or Dutch and, for businesses, installation and a failover router in one package; compare the total price and what is included before you choose.
Professional installation: what Belgian installers charge
Many Belgian houses are tall and closely spaced, with the only clear view of the sky on the roof ridge or a chimney, and the cable has to come through a well-insulated wall. That is why customers without a garden with a clear view often hire an installer. Starlink does not bundle an installation service in Belgium, so the market is independent installers, several of whom are also resellers.
Published Belgian prices (2025–2026):
- Standard residential install (roof or facade mount, cable run, router placed): typically €250–€450; confirm VAT and what is included.
- All-in package: SateLink, a Belgian Starlink specialist, lists €600 for a site survey, installation, cabling, Wi-Fi optimisation and two years of support (kit not included).
- Complex installs (chimney mount, lift access, long cable runs to an outbuilding, protected facades): quoted per site; expect several hundred euros on top of a standard install for access equipment and long runs.
- Business sites (mast, cabling, failover with the Proximus or Telenet line): quoted per site after a survey.
- Boats (Nieuwpoort, Zeebrugge, Antwerp marinas): quoted by marine installers according to the mount, the power installation and the waters you sail.
Ask for a written quote that lists the mount, the cable route, the service area and any travel charge: a few installers cover the whole country, most work within their region and charge for distance beyond it. A good installer will use the Starlink app on site to show you the obstruction map before drilling.
Financial support and business expenses
There is no national subsidy for Starlink; if your address has no usable fixed broadband, ask your municipality or region whether any connectivity support applies. For companies and the self-employed, the kit, the installation and the subscription are normally deductible business expenses to the extent of professional use; confirm with your accountant.
Which kit for which use in Belgium
- House, farm, second home: Standard kit (no upfront cost in selected areas, returned if you cancel) on the Residential tier your address is offered. Pick the tier based on how many people use the connection at once, because the cheaper tiers are hard caps.
- Van, camper, small boat: Mini kit on a Roam plan, not on Residential; the Mini has the router built in and runs from DC (a 12 V adapter or a 100 W USB-C power bank with the right cable). For a boat, check that the plan covers the waters you sail.
- Business and backup line: a Local Priority plan, on the Performance kit (formerly Flat High Performance) where the site needs it, installed with a failover router so the office switches over automatically when the fibre or cable line drops.
What speeds to expect in Belgium
The 100 and 200 Mbps tiers are throttled at those figures. Residential Max is advertised at up to 400+ Mbps; what you get depends on how busy your cell is, with evenings in the denser cells at the low end. Latency in Belgium is around 25–40 ms and uploads are a fraction of downloads, so users who regularly upload large files should judge the connection on the upload figure. Where a cell is congested, a Business plan's priority data helps, which is why resellers sell it to companies; it is not a guarantee of constant speed.
Rain is not the problem people expect; obstructions are. Neighbours' trees and buildings are close in Belgium, so run the Starlink app's obstruction check at the spot you have in mind, then let the connected dish log obstructions for a day before mounting it permanently.
Starlink versus the alternatives in Belgium
- Fibre (Proximus, Telenet and the other providers on the Wyre and Fiberklaar networks): faster, especially on uploads; compare prices at your address. Starlink is for the addresses the fibre roll-out has not reached, which in Wallonia is still a lot of them.
- 4G/5G home internet: worth testing first if you have a strong outdoor signal; €25–€40 a month, but speeds can fall when the local mast is congested or the signal is weak.
- Cable (Telenet, VOO): where available, usually the cheapest fast option; compare total price and upload speed.
- Backup for businesses: Starlink's advantage is independence from the fixed network; an integrator can set it up as automatic failover behind the fibre line.
Common mistakes Belgian installers see
- Mounting on the south facade to hide the dish: in Belgium the dish tilts towards the northern sky, so the house itself blocks it from there. The app shows the direction it needs clear.
- Passing the cable through a tilted window or a door: the cable cannot be cut or extended; choose the entry point before buying the mount.
- Using the ground stand as a permanent solution on a terrace: wind and children knock it over.
- Forgetting that the Standard kit's router has no Ethernet port: order the adapter for wired devices or a mesh system.

How to choose an installer in Belgium
- Check the language and the area: most work in one region, a few cover the whole country.
- Ask whether they have installed on your roof type (tiles, slate, flat roof with membrane) and which mount they use.
- Get the total incl. VAT, travel and the mount in writing.
- For businesses, ask whether they resell Priority plans, provide a Belgian invoice and configure failover with your existing line.
- Confirm they are insured for work at height.
