Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced that Starlink, his satellite-based internet service, is now available in Sri Lanka.

Taking to social media platform ‘X,’ Musk posted: “Starlink now available in Sri Lanka!”, confirming the official launch of the high-speed satellite internet service in the country.

Starlink received regulatory clearance in August 2024 after the Sri Lankan Government amended its telecommunications laws to accommodate satellite-based internet providers. With its launch, Starlink is expected to offer a much-needed connectivity solution for remote and rural communities while providing premium high-speed internet options for businesses across Sri Lanka.

Starlink released its pricing options for both residential and business users.
