Starlink launches interest-free instalment plans

Starlink, an internet service owned by billionaire Elon Musk, has launched an interest-free installment plans for its Mini Kit.
The service, which was introduced in Zimbabwe, will significantly reduce upfront costs to make satellite internet more accessible across the country.
The company announced two instalment options: a six-month plan costing $25 per month and a nine-month plan at $16.67 per month.
Both plans required an initial deposit of $50 and a $23 delivery fee, lowering the initial payment from $223 to $73. Starlink officials stated that the interest-free nature of the plans would likely make the nine-month option the most popular among customers.
Customers are also required to pay a monthly subscription fee of at least $30 after receiving the Mini Kit.
$46.67 will be charged monthly under the nine-month plan. A Starlink representative explained that the new payment plans aimed to address financial barriers faced by many Zimbabweans, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Starlink kits were reported to be sold out in Harare, nearby towns, and parts of Bulawayo.
