The Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida on February 21, 2026 successfully deployed 28 new Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low-Earth orbit, advancing SpaceX’s global broadband network and showcasing the Falcon 9 booster’s record-setting 33rd flight.
Starlink’s updated residential plans expand Starlink Mini connectivity for home broadband with tiered options in the U.S., including an affordable entry-level plan offering unlimited data with speeds up to 100 Mbps for around $50 per month in select areas. Higher tiers at roughly $80 and $120 per month provide faster speeds and additional features, all designed to bring high-speed satellite internet to homes where traditional broadband may be limited.
Williams, a major U.S. energy infrastructure company, addressed long-standing connectivity challenges in remote operational areas by integrating Starlink satellite broadband into its communications technology stack. This solution delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency internet directly at remote job sites, enabling field technicians to document tasks in real time, reduce unproductive travel, and enhance operational efficiency. In 2025 alone, implementations of Starlink yielded approximately $6 million in operational returns, and the company is expanding deployment through 2027. The initiative underscores the strategic role of reliable connectivity in modern energy operations.
Starlink's high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Liechtenstein, marking the 150th country, territory, and many other markets where Starlink is available!
