Starlink Expands Internet Coverage Across the Americas in 2025
SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service continues its rapid expansion across North, Central, and South America, providing high-speed connectivity to regions historically underserved by traditional broadband providers. As of August 2025, Starlink is operational in over 30 countries and territories across the Americas, closing digital gaps that have long affected rural communities, small businesses, and remote workers.
United States Leads with Full Nationwide Coverage
In the United States, Starlink now covers all 50 states, including remote and previously hard-to-reach areas such as Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories. The service has been pivotal for residents in rural states who rely on internet access for remote work, online learning, and telehealth services.
Expansion in Mexico and Central America
Mexico has seen a significant uptake in Starlink subscriptions, particularly in mountainous regions and rural villages. The service is also available in several Central American nations, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. These regions benefit from Starlink’s ability to provide stable connections where infrastructure development is challenging due to geography and economic constraints.
South America Embraces Starlink Connectivity
Starlink’s presence in South America is steadily growing. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia have widespread coverage, extending internet access to isolated Amazonian communities and Patagonian settlements. Additionally, countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, and Paraguay now have active Starlink services, with Bolivia expected to transition from limited trials to full availability in the coming months.
Improved Digital Access in the Caribbean
Caribbean nations have also seen improved internet accessibility through Starlink. The service is live in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, and several smaller island nations. These regions have historically faced challenges in maintaining consistent broadband services, especially during natural disasters.
Limitations in Certain Regions
While Starlink’s footprint has expanded significantly, some areas remain in limited access phases. Belize has partial availability, primarily for emergency services and specific pilot programs. Venezuela remains excluded due to ongoing regulatory restrictions and international sanctions.
Impact on Workers and Remote Communities
Starlink’s expansion is more than a technological milestone—it is transforming livelihoods. Remote workers, freelancers, students, and local entrepreneurs now have the infrastructure to participate in the global digital economy. For many, Starlink is the first reliable internet option, unlocking new educational resources, telehealth services, and economic opportunities.
As global connectivity becomes increasingly crucial, Starlink’s presence across the Americas marks a significant step toward bridging the digital divide.
