Starlink’s High-Speed, Low-Latency Internet Now Available in the Cayman Islands — Connecting the Islands to the World

In a major expansion of its global satellite-internet footprint, Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency internet service is now officially available in the Cayman Islands, bringing broadband access via space to residents, businesses, and visitors across the Caribbean territory. This launch follows extended regulatory discussions with local authorities and represents the latest milestone in Starlink’s rapid worldwide deployment. 

For years, eager users in the Cayman Islands had asked when Starlink would come online; prior years saw local retailers selling Starlink terminals and regulatory consultation processes seeking to establish satellite-internet licensing frameworks.  Now that regulatory approval has been finalized and services are active, customers in Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman can subscribe to Starlink’s broadband internet plans, access streaming, video calling, remote work platforms, and other advanced internet applications via a dedicated Starlink terminal. 

Starlink works by connecting a user’s terminal (often called “Dishy”) directly to a constellation of thousands of satellites in low-Earth orbit, bypassing traditional ground-based infrastructure like fiber or cellular towers. This enables high-speed and low-latency internet even in areas where conventional broadband would be difficult or costly to build. The service supports typical broadband activities such as high-definition video streaming, online education, cloud-based work tools, and interactive communication platforms — all with performance often rivaling or exceeding terrestrial internet options in remote locations. 

For the Cayman Islands, this means expanded connectivity for government, education, healthcare, business, and tourism sectors. Reliable internet is vital for economic development, digital services, remote work, and everyday communication in island communities. Whether supporting emergency services during storms or enabling families and businesses to stay online, Starlink’s deployment in the Cayman Islands adds resilience and flexibility to the nation’s communications infrastructure. 

This rollout also highlights a broader trend in the Caribbean region and globally: satellites are becoming a mainstream solution for closing digital divides in areas where geography, population density, or infrastructure costs have historically limited broadband access. With availability now confirmed in the Cayman Islands and continued deployment in neighboring Caribbean markets, Starlink’s presence illustrates the potential of space-based networks to extend connectivity to every corner of the globe.
