What should I prepare before cancelling Starlink?
Gather the account holder’s name, account number, billing email or service address, and the date you want service to end. Then check your statement for the name of the company collecting payment. Reactivation depends on service availability and capacity. Removing or transferring hardware is separate from cancelling the service line.
When should I cancel Starlink, and when will billing stop?
Cancel before 12:00 a.m. UTC on the billing day and before the next invoice is generated; later changes move to the following billing day. Service remains active through the date already paid for and is removed from future billing cycles. Give yourself time before the cutoff, save the end date shown on screen, and check the next statement for any charge already in progress.
Will Starlink charge a fee or give me a refund?
Fees or a remaining balance: A service commitment or change fee may apply to an applicable plan; a rented kit not returned within 30 days can be charged at full retail price. Refunds: Service fees are generally not refunded; qualifying equipment purchases may have a 30-day return right under the terms. Ask support to list the final charge and any refund separately in writing. Returns or final tasks: Return a rented Starlink Kit in good condition within 30 days. Purchased equipment remains yours unless separately returned or transferred.
How do I prove that I cancelled Starlink?
Keep cancellation status, paid-through date, return label and tracking if rented, final invoice. Save copies outside the company’s app or account in case access disappears. Your proof should show the request date, effective date, affected service, and confirmation or reference number.
What should I do if Starlink keeps charging me?
Compare the new charge with the effective date on your confirmation. Then contact Starlink with a short timeline showing the request, confirmation, promised end date, and charge. Ask for a written correction and any refund due. If that goes nowhere, send the same records to your payment provider and ask how long you have to dispute the charge.

One cancellation issue we found
Current company instructions, regulator findings and customer reports are labeled separately. That way you can see what is official, what is reported and what is older context.
UTC billing and equipment return create separate deadlines
Starlink ties billing changes to midnight UTC rather than the customer’s local time. Cancelling service stops future cycles, but a rented or qualifying no-cost kit must also be returned in good condition within 30 days or a retail-price charge can apply. Cancel before the UTC cutoff, save the service-line end date, then use the issued label and retain tracking for every returned component. Purchased hardware and service cancellation are separate decisions.
