For more than 30 years, Australians have come to us to keep their printers running. Now we can keep them connected too. Starlink satellite internet is officially on our shelves, and it's one of the hottest things in our stores right now.

Whether you're working from a farm, touring the country in a caravan, or just sick of your connection dropping out mid-meeting, Starlink could be the upgrade you've been waiting for. Here's everything you need to know, and where to get yours.

What is Starlink?

Starlink is satellite internet from SpaceX. Instead of relying on cables, phone towers or the NBN, it connects to a network of satellites orbiting close to Earth. Because those satellites sit much lower than traditional internet satellites, you get fast speeds and low latency. That means video calls, streaming and online gaming that actually work.

The best part is that it works just about anywhere with a clear view of the sky. For a country as big as Australia, that's a game changer.

Why everyone's talking about it

It's online in minutes. Starlink is designed to be plug and play. Plug it in, point it at the sky, and you're up and running. No technician visit, no digging trenches, no waiting weeks for a connection date.

It works way off the grid. Farm, caravan, work site or beach shack, if you can see the sky, you can get online.* That opens up internet access in places that have never had a decent connection.

There are no lock-in contracts. You can pause or cancel your Starlink service plan any time. Heading off on a three-month road trip? Switch it on when you go and pause it when you're home. Commitment issues welcome.

Pick your kit: Starlink Mini vs Standard Kit

We stock two Starlink kits, and the right one comes down to how you'll use it. One goes in a backpack. One runs the whole house.

	Starlink Mini	Starlink Standard Kit
Best for	Life on the move	Home, farm and office
Price	$289.00	$499.00
Size	Small enough for a backpack	Larger fixed dish
Router	Built-in Wi-Fi router	Gen 3 Wi-Fi 6 router
Coverage	Max speeds over 100 Mbps	Covers up to 297 m², up to 235 devices
Power	Low power, with DC input	Mains power

Starlink Mini: $289.00

The Starlink Mini is built for people who don't sit still. It's compact enough to slip into a backpack, has its Wi-Fi router built right in, and delivers maximum speeds of over 100 Mbps. It's low power and runs on DC input, so it's ideal for caravans, 4WD setups, boats and camping trips.

If you're a grey nomad, a weekend camper or a tradie who moves between sites, the Mini is the one to look at.

Starlink Standard Kit: $499.00

The Starlink Standard Kit (Latest Generation) is made to run the whole property. It comes with the Gen 3 Wi-Fi 6 router, covers up to 297 m² and can connect up to 235 devices at once. It's weather resistant too, so it's built to handle the Aussie elements year round.

For rural homes, farms, small offices and anyone who needs a reliable everyday connection for the whole household, the Standard Kit is the pick.

Signs you need Starlink

Not sure if Starlink is for you? If any of these sound familiar, it might be time:

• You've held your phone out the caravan window hoping for one bar.
• Your video calls freeze on your worst face. Every time.
• The back shed has better views than signal.
• When the office internet drops, so does everyone's productivity.
• You've planned a trip around where you'll get reception.

Who is Starlink for?

Grey nomads and travellers. Stay in touch with family, check the weather, book your next caravan park and stream a movie at night, wherever you've pulled up.

Farmers and rural households. Run the farm books, order supplies, and let the kids do their homework online without fighting over a weak connection.

Tradies and mobile workers. Send quotes, upload photos and take payments from the job site, even when the closest tower is kilometres away.

Small businesses. A backup connection keeps your EFTPOS, emails and cloud systems running when your main internet drops out. It's a smart insurance policy for any business that can't afford downtime.

Ink, toner and internet, all in one place

You already trust us for your ink and toner. Adding Starlink to the range just made sense. Our customers include plenty of home offices, small businesses and regional Australians, and they all need two things to keep working: a printer that prints and an internet connection that connects.

Now you can sort both in one stop. Pick up your printer cartridges and your Starlink kit in the same trip, or add them to the same online order.

Where to buy Starlink

Grabbing your Starlink is easy. You've got two options:

1. Shop online at cartridgeworld.com.au/starlink and order from anywhere in Australia.
2. Visit one of our 120+ stores Australia-wide and pick one up in person. Find your nearest store to check stock before you head in.

Same Starlink, wherever suits you.
