Starlink Roaming Data Plan Upgrade: 100 GB High‑Speed with Unlimited Low‑Speed
Starlink has upgraded its Roam 50 GB plan to a Roam 100 GB plan, doubling the amount of high‑speed satellite data at no extra cost, and now provides unlimited low‑speed connectivity after the 100 GB cap.
Introduction: Why the Roam 100 GB Update Matters
For digital nomads, remote‑work teams, and small businesses that rely on connectivity beyond the reach of traditional broadband, Starlink’s satellite internet has become a lifeline. The recent Starlink roaming data‑plan update announced on January 13, 2026 expands the high‑speed data allowance from 50 GB to 100 GB per billing cycle, keeping the price unchanged in most markets. This change directly addresses the most common pain point for roaming users: running out of fast data while on the road.
Overview of the New Starlink Roam 100 GB Plan
The Roam 100 GB plan is now the default roaming option for eligible customers. Key features include:
- 100 GB of high‑speed data per month (up from 50 GB).
- Automatic transition to unlimited low‑speed data after the cap.
- No additional monthly fee in most regions.
- Full compatibility with Starlink’s Enterprise AI platform by UBOS for businesses that want to integrate AI‑driven analytics on their satellite link.
Who Benefits Most?
Tech‑savvy consumers, remote workers, and small‑to‑medium enterprises (SMBs) that need reliable internet while traveling, camping, or operating from vessels will see immediate value. The plan also aligns with the growing trend of AI‑enhanced workflows, where tools like AI marketing agents can run on a stable connection even in remote locations.
Low‑Speed Continuation After the 100 GB Cap
When you consume the full 100 GB of high‑speed data, Starlink does not cut you off. Instead, the service seamlessly switches to an unlimited low‑speed mode for the remainder of the billing period. This ensures that essential communications—email, messaging, and basic web browsing—remain functional.
What Can You Do With Low‑Speed Data?
- Send and receive emails.
- Participate in text‑based chats (e.g., Slack, Teams).
- Access cloud‑based documents for editing (though large file uploads may be slower).
- Use voice‑over‑IP calls that require modest bandwidth.
High‑bandwidth activities such as 4K video streaming, large software updates, or real‑time video conferencing will be throttled. If you need to resume high‑speed usage, you can upgrade to the Roam Unlimited plan at any time (see the next section).
Upgrade Path to Roam Unlimited
Starlink offers a straightforward upgrade to Roam Unlimited, which restores high‑speed data for the rest of the month. The upgrade is applied instantly through the Starlink account portal and remains active for subsequent billing cycles until you choose to downgrade.
How to Upgrade
- Log in to your UBOS homepage‑linked Starlink dashboard.
- Navigate to the “Plan & Billing” section.
- Select “Upgrade to Roam Unlimited” and confirm.
- Enjoy unlimited high‑speed data until the next billing date.
For businesses that need to automate this process, the Workflow automation studio can trigger plan changes based on usage thresholds, integrating with tools like OpenAI ChatGPT integration for real‑time alerts.
Availability and Ocean Usage
The Roam 100 GB plan is now live in most markets, but a handful of countries still show the legacy 50 GB option. Starlink’s coverage map is continuously updated; expect full rollout within 48 hours for most regions.
Ocean Mode Explained
While the Roam 100 GB plan supports connectivity up to 12 nautical miles from the coast for up to 5 consecutive days (and 60 days per year), extended offshore usage requires Ocean Mode. Ocean Mode is billed per gigabyte and is only available with the Roam Unlimited plan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Summary
- Will my service stop after I hit 100 GB?
- No. You will continue to have unlimited low‑speed connectivity until the next billing cycle.

- Per‑GB purchases are discontinued for Roam plans, except for Ocean Mode, which remains a pay‑as‑you‑go service.
