SpaceX just announced that Starlink, its low-earth satellite broadband internet service, is now available in the Philippines.

SpaceX made the announcement on Twitter in Filipino, writing, “Available na ngayon ang Starlink sa Pilipinas (Starlink is now available in the Philippines),” along with a link to its map and order form for the services.

Musk’s space company began launching Starlink satellites in 2019, boasting a no-contract service, low latency internet connection, and download speeds of up to 200 Mbps.

Based on the order form, the Starlink service costs PHP2,700 (US$49) each month with no contract, while the hardware costs PHP29,320 (US$532.29).

Interested customers may now place their orders here.

The launch makes the Philippines the first Southeast Asian country to get Starlink.
