The most common question our executives get on WhatsApp is simple: what does Starlink actually cost in Cameroon, all-in? This guide lays out the numbers we currently sell at, what the installation fee covers, and the things that push a quote to the higher end of the range.
Hardware prices
| Kit | Normal price | Our promo price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starlink Mini | 260,000 FRS | 235,000 FRS | Homes, small shops, travel and field work — 300+ Mbps, built-in Wi-Fi, IP67 rated |
| Starlink Standard (V4) | 365,000 FRS | 345,000 FRS | Offices, hotels, schools and busy households — 400+ Mbps, Wi-Fi 6 Gen 3, up to 235 devices |
Both kits are genuine and arrive complete: dish, router, power supply, cable and base or mount. We activate the kit with you so it is online before we leave the site.
Installation fee: 55,000 – 85,000 FRS
Installation is quoted separately because no two buildings are the same. The fee covers logistics to your address, professional setup, mounting and satellite alignment for maximum performance. A free management service is included for our clients.
What moves you inside the range:
- Distance — a job in Molyko, Buea costs less in logistics than a plantation road outside Tiko.
- Building height and roof type — a two-storey zinc roof needs more safety work than a bungalow wall mount.
- Line of sight — if trees or a neighbouring block obstruct the sky, we may need a pole mast or a longer cable run.
- Cable distance — running the cable from the roof to a room on the far side of the building adds materials.
- Extra network work — Wi-Fi coverage extension, MikroTik configuration or a hotspot zone is scoped on top.
Monthly subscription
The kit is a one-off purchase; the internet service itself is billed monthly by Starlink to the account created during activation. Plan availability and pricing are set by Starlink and change from time to time, so ask an executive to confirm the current plan for your region before you buy — we will not quote a figure here that could be out of date by the time you read it.
A realistic total
For a typical single-storey home in Buea, Limbe or Douala with clear sky above the roof, budget around 235,000 FRS for a Mini plus roughly 55,000 – 65,000 FRS installation. An office or hotel taking the Standard V4 with Wi-Fi extension should plan for 345,000 FRS plus the upper part of the installation range and the cost of any access points.
Fastest way to an exact number: send a photo of your building and your address to one of our executives on WhatsApp. You get a firm total, not an estimate.
