SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service is now available to order in Bosnia and Herzegovina, offering residential broadband speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to more than 400 Mbps, with monthly packages starting at BAM 68 (€35).
The launch introduces a satellite-based broadband option for households, businesses and mobile users, with self-installation equipment, portable connectivity plans and a 30-day trial.
According to local news outlet Klix.ba, Starlink is offering several subscription categories, including residential internet, portable Roam packages and business services with different priority data allowances.
Residential broadband starts at BAM 68 per month
Starlink's residential packages in Bosnia and Herzegovina start at BAM 68 (€35) per month for speeds of 100 Mbps.
Higher-tier residential plans cost up to BAM 108 per month, offering advertised speeds exceeding 400 Mbps.
The service uses Starlink's satellite network to provide broadband connectivity through a customer-installed terminal, allowing subscribers to access the internet without relying on a conventional fixed-line connection to their premises.
This makes satellite broadband an alternative for households in locations where fibre or other terrestrial broadband infrastructure may be limited.
However, the reported speeds are associated with advertised service packages and should not be interpreted as guaranteed performance at every location.
Actual speeds may vary depending on network conditions, equipment placement and other factors.
Starlink offers portable and business connectivity plans
Alongside residential broadband, Starlink has introduced portable Roam subscriptions starting at BAM 88 per month.
These packages are designed for customers who need connectivity beyond a single fixed residential location.
The availability of Roam services extends Starlink's offering to users requiring greater flexibility in where they access satellite broadband.
For business customers, monthly packages range from BAM 59 to BAM 572, depending on the priority data allowances included.
Priority data packages are intended to address different commercial connectivity requirements, although the available announcement does not specify the individual data allocations, performance commitments or service-level terms.
The range of subscriptions gives Starlink access to multiple customer segments, from households seeking an alternative broadband connection to businesses evaluating satellite connectivity for operational use.
Standard equipment costs BAM 683
Customers subscribing to Starlink's residential service will need compatible satellite equipment.
The standard home hardware package is priced at BAM 683, including value-added tax.
The report also mentions a BAM 137 pre-order deposit, although the available excerpt does not clarify how this amount is applied to the final equipment purchase.
Starlink's self-installation model allows customers to set up their equipment without requiring a conventional fixed broadband installation.
The company is also offering a 30-day trial, giving customers an opportunity to evaluate the service.
The announcement does not provide additional details about trial conditions, refunds or whether any delivery and activation charges apply.
While monthly subscription prices begin at BAM 68, the equipment purchase represents an additional upfront cost that prospective subscribers will need to consider.
Satellite broadband expands connectivity choices
Starlink's entry into Bosnia and Herzegovina adds a satellite-based alternative to the country's existing broadband market.
Unlike terrestrial fixed broadband networks, which depend on local access infrastructure, satellite broadband can serve eligible locations within its coverage area using customer-installed terminals.
This model can be particularly relevant to rural communities, remote properties and businesses operating outside established high-capacity fixed network footprints.
The service may also appeal to customers looking for an alternative connection where terrestrial broadband options are limited.
However, the launch announcement does not establish how many households in Bosnia and Herzegovina currently lack adequate broadband connectivity or identify specific areas where Starlink is expected to attract the greatest demand.
It also does not provide local subscriber forecasts or planned customer acquisition targets.
