Starlink Internet is Now Available in Bangladesh
On May 20, 2025, Starlink — the satellite internet service developed by SpaceX — officially announced its commercial launch in Bangladesh. In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, Starlink confirmed:
“Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Bangladesh!”
This marks a significant milestone in Bangladesh’s digital development, offering new hope for areas that lack access to fiber-optic or stable broadband connections.

Starlink is a satellite-based internet service by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. It uses low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide fast and reliable internet even in the most remote areas of the world. With Starlink, Bangladeshis — especially those in rural or underserved regions — can now enjoy high-speed internet without depending on traditional fiber or mobile networks.
