Starlink near me is an address question, not a ZIP question. Our FCC data lists Starlink in almost every U.S. town, but that only means Starlink reports it can serve the area.[1] Whether you can order today depends on network capacity in your local cell, which Starlink shows only when you enter your street address.

So treat any map, including ours, as the first filter. The ZIP box below shows area-level options from FCC filings; Starlink, Hughesnet or any other provider still has to confirm the exact address.

What FCC data says, and what it cannot

In our FCC data, built from provider filings as of December 30, 2025, Starlink appears in 31,719 of the 31,822 towns and places with FCC records.[1] Hughesnet appears in 31,658 and Viasat in 30,864.[1] That is why our state pages, such as Starlink in Florida and Starlink in Texas, list it almost everywhere.

A filing is a statement that a provider can offer service in an area. It does not tell you whether Starlink has room for new Residential customers in your neighborhood this month. Capacity is the reason one rural town can order immediately while a busier suburb is told to wait.

Use Starlink's own check, in this order:

  1. Open the availability map. Starlink's map has an availability view with status labels and an address box.[2] Use it for a quick look, not a final answer.
  2. Enter the full street address on the order page. When we entered three sample addresses in Texas, Florida and Arizona, each returned an "available at" message with three Residential tiers and a shipping estimate.[3]
  3. Note which tiers appear. Starlink says plans and promotions vary by address, and a plan that does not appear is not available there.[4]
  4. Look for extra charges. In high-demand areas, a one-time demand surcharge may be added, based on your address and plan.[5]
  5. Save a screenshot. Prices and availability can change, so keep a record of what you saw and when.

If you plan to buy a kit from a store, run the address check first. Starlink tells retail buyers to confirm their service address on its order page because availability can change.[6]

What "sold out" and the waitlist mean

If your area shows as sold out, Starlink says Residential service is at capacity and new activations are not possible there.[6] It does not give timelines. To be notified when space opens, you place a deposit for your address; when you reach the front of the line, Starlink emails you.[6]

Once that email arrives, act quickly. Starlink's pre-order help page says you have 7 days from the "Confirm Your Order" email to confirm, or the deposit is cancelled and refunded.[7] If your pre-order is still unconfirmed, Starlink says you are still on the waitlist and it has no date for your address.[7]

Two other points from Starlink's help pages are worth knowing:

  • Business availability can differ from Residential, so a sold-out home address may still show business plans.[6]
  • Moving service into a high-demand area later can trigger a demand surcharge.[5]

What to do if you are waitlisted

Waiting with no date is hard when you need internet now. Use this plan:

If your situation isDo this nowRevisit Starlink when
Need internet this monthOrder the best confirmed option at your addressThe deposit email arrives
Have slow DSL alreadyKeep it; place a depositCapacity opens
Only geostationary satellite offeredCompare contract length before signingBefore any term would lock you in
Business useCheck Starlink business availabilityNow

The steps above follow Starlink's sold-out and pre-order guidance.[6][7] Be careful with long contracts while you wait: a multi-year term elsewhere can cost more to leave than the wait itself. Our Starlink alternatives and rural internet options guides compare what else may reach a rural address.

Check the site, too

Availability on paper is only half the answer; the dish needs open sky at the spot you plan to mount it. Before you place a deposit, walk the property with the Starlink app's obstruction check. Our is Starlink worth it guide has a full site checklist.

Want to see every provider listed near you while you wait? The call option below is an independent comparison line for new service; it cannot change your place on Starlink's waitlist and is not Starlink support.

Frequently asked questions

Is Starlink available everywhere in the U.S.?

Our FCC data lists it in nearly all towns, but capacity varies by area, and sold-out areas cannot activate new Residential service.[1][6]

How long is the Starlink waitlist?

Starlink does not publish timelines for sold-out areas.[6] Place a deposit if you want to be notified.

Why does my neighbor have Starlink when I cannot order?

They may have activated before the area reached capacity. A sold-out status stops new Residential activations, not existing service.[6]
