Starlink's availability map shows Vietnam as "Available now" on Thursday, and its website began accepting orders. Its official Facebook page is running ads promoting "high-speed, stable" Internet with speeds of more than 340 Mbps and directing users to its order website.

Starlink's satellite Internet harware kits.

Customers can enter their address on the website to check availability and place an order. According to the site, the service has "no contracts," comes with a 30-day trial and the kit will be "delivered in 1-2 weeks."

It offers two plans for personal customers in Vietnam: a 100 Mbps plan costing VND1,131,990 a month and a 400 Mbps plan at VND1,711,100. Business plans are priced based on data usage.

Customers need to buy a hardware kit. A smaller one costs VND8,655,300 and has a built-in router and the larger Standard 4 X costs VND10,269,900.

Starlink is a satellite Internet service offered by SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, the world's richest person, with a net worth of nearly $890 billion as of Aug. 12.

Unlike conventional Internet services that largely rely on terrestrial infrastructure, Starlink connects users to satellites in low Earth orbit. In its initial phase, the service is being deployed with four gateway stations and up to 600,000 user terminals.

It can provide broadband Internet at sea, in the air, and in remote, sparsely populated areas where fixed and mobile networks have limited coverage.

But it costs many times more than domestic fixed-line and mobile Internet services and requires high upfront investment in equipment.

A VnExpress survey of 8,500 people earlier this year found that 74% did not plan to use Starlink because existing terrestrial telecommunications services met their needs. Some 15% said they wanted to use it, while 11% were "considering" it.
