what happened to the price drop to 90.00 for places where there was lots of availability for areas where there was no waiting list from the 120.00 dollar that i am now paying in Missouri? There is now no waiting list in my area but i am still paying 120.00 a month and as i understand it there are many areas of the USA that are paying 90.00 a month. @jcristina

@@ommadammo Thanks... Agree about new comers and people that have been with me for 5+ years. I like to please the skippable stuff at the beginning so it's not random throughout the video.. Figured it would help to know where to skip if you need to .
I have the mini and paying $165 I used it for Overlanding, I really love it because it’s powered by 12v and the service is really great, so having connectivity in the wild or in the middle of nowhere is an added security aside from the steel that you carry.
I am in San Diego and bought the Roam Standard for $249 in October and the Mini for $449 (November). Stoked to get them both on sale. I bought the Standard directly from Starlink but got the Mini from Best Buy. Anyone trying to buy direct from Starlink in SoCal currently is getting waitlisted due to max capacity (like you were saying). Thankful to have added this to my emergency preparations. It wasn't cheap but I look at it as an investment. It'll double as a comms solution for camping/overlanding as well. New sub, thank you for the great content!
We have both mini and residential. Mini for camping/RV'ing and residential for home. And yea, we have to turn on service off and activate the other...not a big deal but a single plan where you can toggle between residential and mini would be very cool. We use the unlimited roaming plan for the mini since I work while on the road.
I bought the Mini and it’s affixed to the inside roof of my CyberTruck via 3D printed mount and suction cups. I cannot tell you how incredibly useful this is for me. I own a tech company and I’m constantly driving from Florida to other states and needless to say Internet is spotty at best. This is a lifesaver as my business is 60% virtual paperwork for contracts and research. Now I can take longer trips to remote locations and just enjoy the natural beauty of this country.
This is Terrible for people who travel, it's literally useless. Streaming a 4k movie uses roughly 10 gigabytes per hour... I know the goal of Starlink is to bring Internet to people who can't get broadband, but it's people like me who travel constantly and NEED unlimited data who would make up the majority of Starlink customers... Assuming it fit our needs. I go through 250 gigs of phone data per month and I'm not even considered a heavy user. My sister uses over 3 terabytes of data for her job.
I setup a starlink mini for my dad that the owners of where he works gave him. I was super excited to test it and get it working well. Little did I know it was on the 50GB plan, and I ended up using up the ENTIRE FIFTY GIGS IN TWO HOURS!! Because I was doing so many speed tests and uploading pictures and videos from the trip, hahaha
I have been using the mini in Subaru for $30/mth with my home plan version 2 from the start. Use it while driving in US and Canada often. Works great in both countries.
Love your videos. NW Washington State. Our monthly residential costs have been $120/month since May 2023. Next payment for December 2024 is the same. Todays speed test: downloads:169Mbps, uploads:23, latency:23
I’m a full-time traveler who recently switched from years of using a Verizon MiFi device. Two months ago, I took possession of my Star Link 3rd generation (roaming), and it works as advertised at $165.00. This product will force the Verizon & ATT companies to offer discounts for their MiFi devices to become an internet price war in 2025
Starlink Mini hardware now US$186, and Roam 50 GB plan is US$50 monthly here in Asunción Paraguay, South America. Greetings. PD: I'm a new subscriber since today.
Live in the PNW. Got Starlink 1 1/2 years ago. Offered the mini dish for $30/mo and decided to get it for my RV. I was surprised by this offer, hearing there is a waiting list in this area.
Just purchased the residential unit and service here in Arizona . $249 for dish (limited time purchase) and $120 a month for service. Would really like to see a price drop in service for Veterans and Retired people.
Oh My God. finally i travelled to get my own stralink kit. after long following your videos and watching many having this kit. now i have it too. thanks to your channel
Price has not dropped for me yet but I don’t care. My town was hit head on by Hurricane Helene in September. The town was without power and all traditional internet providers were out of service for 9 days. 3 hours after the hurricane, I checked the roof and my Starlink satellite dish was still there. I connected my generator and had internet immediately. Elon Musk is my hero😀
I purchased the mini bundled last week and activated it yesterday. needing to replace a cell phone, trying to find out pricing for the T-Mobile DTC plan. I use it mainly for wifi calling as cell reception is extremely poor where I live. If you have the bundled and paying $30 a month, if you pause it, when you reactivate it, it will go to $50 (or the current pricing for normal subscription). That is the risk you pay. You can pause, but you lose the lower monthly rate. It was drawing only 36-37 watts. However, the minimum supply required is 100w. I think that is to ensure a constant power source for the mini, and especially if you need to heat the dish. I had it plugged into my car's 12V system. You will need to buy the cable that allows you to plug into a USB-C connection. It was a little shy of $35 from StarLink.
Hi I live in South Australia and Starlink offered me 50gig roaming deal for $50 per month and the Mini dish for $299 Australian $ I have taken them up for the deal and should see the mini in the mail on Monday. I’m already a Starlink customer for the past 2yrs or so. Paying $140/ month soon $190/ month with both services. I definitely injoy informative channel. Cheers Neil.
I live remotely and I camp a lot and I don’t want to pay for 2 Starlinks so the mini unlimited is the answer. Easy to understand. I have both a gen three and a mini. trying to determine best approach for subscriptions
mini kit is ideal for campers and pensioners love their campers. In Europe i noticed today that there was 25 euros monthly and the mini dish is 322 euros. They call it the starlink mini studio
I've got a Gen 3 dish, which I modified a mount to replace the TV antenna on my RV (yes, you can raise, lower, and rotate it from inside the RV - when lowered and locked for travel it works in motion)... Plus, when parked next to the house I've got a range extender to cover the house... We expect to cancel our cable Internet soon, since Starlink actually has lower latency (for phone calls) and reliability (even in snow storms!).
I had the v2 since August of 22 on my house and worked great, then when they lowered the v3 price I purchased that and installed the v3 on the house and moved the v2 to a roam plan @$150m to my rv and that was a great addition to the rv experience no more internet issues and it is paused when not in use. I had thought about changing the v2 on the rv to a mini but the v2 works just fine and hard to justify the cost of the hardware at lower speeds imho.
Since I'm a content creator on RUclips living out in the country near no one, Starlink is the only way I can upload 3 videos a week and livestream once a week. I purchased their business plan which is $250 a month but gives me priority connection during congested peak hours. I love it. It's very fast and never goes out.
I would love your plan, to be able to have two dishes and switch the residential service between them, even with a 50GB limit on mobile. I WOULD get the mini with the new pricing IF you could pause the mobile service. But I am REALLY getting a bit peeved that slowly over time my regular roaming plan JUST KEEPS GOING UP AND UP!!! $95 to $110 to $120 to $135... now it's all the way up to $165! I can't even imagine what this will look like with SpaceX popping out 100 V3's ATA TIME one a reusable rocket system!! With multiple towers they can literally launch them into space faster than they can make them!
In WY. 90.00 per month gen 3 residential 300-440 Mbps on average. Really happy so far. 349.00. For the price of these i think they should allow the customer to add 1 of whatever mount meets their needs instead of the ridiculous kick stand
Just bought the standard kit. Paid $358 for the kit and $50 for the monthly service. Initial speed test shows between 180-250Mbps. Located in the southern part of Norway.
Thanks !!!! And I’m praying you’re right about it getting better. The high speed has been excellent but not the increase in price! Appreciate your podcast! Mickey
Had a price rise in my monthly subscription, I'm in Snowflake Arizona with open skies, not happy with the increase, I have the traveling set up, and have been stationary since purchased in September of 2023, this the second month of increase and its currently December. Considering pausing the service and going to another company, maybe T-mobile? just haven't made the move, I reside off grid and am retired and was honestly disappointed when I got the raise!!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Mickey Arbogast
Just bought a Mini-but only because of the pause feature. I would take $50/mo with pause over $30/mo without pause. If Elon eliminates this option, I’ve just wasted $400. As for the plan pricing, it is super simple: If you’ll use less than 165GB/mo, the 50GB/mo plan is the cheapest option.
I got a travel case for my star link standard and I love it. It’s nylon waterproof. I still think I’m gonna get the hard shell from SpaceX so at some point for traveling I want to airplane before right now. I think we’re good.
Two dishes on one roaming plan would be perfect. We leave our starlink in a remote location and need roaming as we sometimes use it on a boat. It's probably only used for 90 days a year, so it would be great to be able to use a second mini dish at other times.
I gave them the feedback when I got the Mini a long time ago when invited with the similar plan of what is being offered right now... the Mini 50GB plan for $30 is attached. It makes your Residential Plan $150 a month. The issue I have is the 50GB getting used up. I suggested that the Residential & the Mini Roam plan SHARE the capped overall data priority cap. So, if BOTH go over, the residential will loose priority & the Mini will be restricted. Otherwise, the Mini will be regular roam and the Residential will be regular... if that makes sense. I may go weeks without using my Mini then heavily use it a week or so at a time.
Living in mountains, internet access has always been a problem. Recently cell tower access has improved and cellular home internet is now available for only $35 a month. Starlink is looking more and more attractive.
I was in the early Mini offer back in July for $599, but my monthly service has always been $28.95 for the Mini (added to my Starlink account with my regular starlink dish).
I had this idea about 2 dishes on one account a couple months ago and contacted Starlink about this. They told me each dish has to have its own account. So now I have a standard dish and a mini. Doesn't make sense, but here we are. I have use for both but def didn't want to pay for 2 accounts. So now I will pause my standard when not in use.
I'd get residential, but if we are forced to evacuate it won't work. I'd like to see the Residential have an option, when the network sees the dish is relocated, you would automatically switch to ROAM. You would pay the $50 for the entire month. $170 is not a big deal during an emergency.
I wouldn’t want to switch my service to the mini dish while away as I need to stay connected at ‘base camp’ to access my systems. I have relatives out in the sticks so this will be great to stay connected. 50GB allowance is ample for a week away it’s not like I’d be doing a 12GB MacOS update while away or watching loads of 4K movies that would be a bit anti-social :-)
i like the mini - i use it on the road one -two time per month- i dont use all the 50gig. i also have the residential - i pay 120 for that and 30 for the mini for a total of 150 for both dishes
I have the GEN 2 the GEN 3 and I ordered the mini last week. I’ll let you know how it fares compared to the others. I work in construction areas with no cell service or internet that’s why I got it
@ update the plane includes on water and in motion tried it out while driving through the smoky mountains bad coverage still getting around 50 down 20 MS and 11 upload on average with a bunch of trees in the way while moving
Like the idea of a switch on a app. I said same thing other than the app. I discussed this with starlink also. Just told not available. Keep the $120/month but use switch for one or other but not both at same time.
With demand as high as it is, I'm surprised they're lowering the prices at all. Now they have 4 million subscribers, they must be insanely profitable. A good product for people who can't get anything else but for everyone else, way too expensive in my opinion for the speeds offered.
Mine is getting worse instead of better. I use to get a pretty steady 150 to 200 dload but now most of the time it's below 150 and a lot of times it below 100 download.. and on Sunday night you might as well forget to watch tv it's down to 10 and lower. And i do have a clear view to the satellite.
That's a lot better. $600 was way outta pocket for me. I just want the thing for camping and outdoors. I want to be able to turn it on, and off when I want and not get corn holed in the process.
Waited for 18 months on the list for Starlink. Finally got it, after they raised their price from $90 to $120 a month. Speeds have gotten better but honestly, I can't wait for summer 2025 now that they are FINALLY putting in fiber to the home in my rural area (the orange tubes are already being shoved under the ground in front of my property). Already signed up. Twice the speed and less than the old Starlink price. Will be selling my Gen 2 dish a month after the fiber goes live. I have ZERO interest in any internet service with data caps, regardless of the price "savings".
Starlink really needs an authorized installer network. I’m on the East Coast we have an IT business and are installing four or five systems a month. In rural areas the elderly need the service but are often unable physically to do the installation or it’s a bit too complicated for them to order the service choose the installation option best suited for their location and set up the app on their phone and so forth. We often have to walk them through the ordering process and setting up the necessary app and password. Then we also experience customers who are wealthy and would rather hire someone to complete the entire setup for them including setting all their network devices. We try to do a very professional installation but we have came behind several installs where the work was substandard and it appeared the price they charged for the service was a bit misleading to the customer.
Well dang it, I didn’t get that particular email. Ah, but I’m on the grandfathered residential with roam already. 😊 I just want a cheaper Mini period, but I’m reluctant to pay more for less dish.😢
iam in india and we are waiting for starlink. it will be great for travelling in Mountainous areas but for city use its pointless because we have the most affordable broadband and 5G in the world. My home broadband is 30mbps, unlimited data, for rupees 600 per month (USD 7 per month) and Airtel 5G is rupees 380 (USD 5) per month with 2GB per day and unlimited calling.
I'm on a New Zealand Spark unlimited $60 a month Cell phone modem. And I live in a 1989 Mitsi bus converted to a bed on wheels. All I need is a 12/24v inverter to 240volts to run the cellphone modem off the bus supply. So I can take it a lot of placed. So long as a cell tower is near me. cell phone modem $150 nzd About $1nzd = 60c usd. And NZ has a population of 5 million. Thanks for the info. Cheers
good for many people ive had problems with internet speed i my pop at Dallas though i live just north of Houston today i just checked its 66 megs of speed it gets up to 250 most of the time that doesnt bother me much because i had att 3to 5 megs down i had my type 2 dish as long as you have
I’ve never been this early. My opinion is I don’t think the dish will or should be free, it just will eventually be 200$ or maybe 150$ as it’s affordable and would ensure people that that don’t have to return the dish. Every other service that provides equipment for free is not good in my opinion because yeh you got it for free however you don’t own it and will have to treat it like it’s brittle glass because if it gets damaged or broken you will have to deal with a massive charge for something you don’t own. If the dish is 150$ or. 200$ it’s cheap, makes the company money and gives the customer insurance that they don’t have to keep it in almost prestion condition that be returned
Hey JCristina, Question. Do you think Starlink just start restricting Residential service to only those who dont have a better option? I know several people who have gotten Starlink because they are just tiered of dealing with other providers and are not concerned with getting 1gb service.
You can pause the mini plan o can share screen shots as I have my mini bundle paused also since the mini came out alot of people were all rdy only paying 30 a month
I wish they will go down on the mouth free but they probably going to go up just like streaming dose. I thinking they going to be getting close to there limits of people that mount it. And I think it’s going to be the end of next year until they can get does bigger satellites up there . Or enough satellites to make a difference. That ok .i do love my Starlink. Have a great day friend.
This would be worth it if you had it for your house and then got the mini for a trip. I think I'd want to just have the mini and use it for everything. It would still be the better deal if you did that for $165 a month. It isn't as fast but you can take your internet with you. This summer I might get one, I plan to travel. My Mom needs Starlink though, she's paying over $100 for DSL speeds. Where she lives isn't sold out either.
I would love to get Starlink In central Florida but the Residential plan is still $120 a month ? It’s still to much for a Senior on a budget ! I believe Seniors should get a discount that some companies provide

Can you enable folks to jump the intro with an inline button on screen? Dunno, needs something that the metrics show at least doesn't drive away new viewers. Subs shouldn't ever be asked for - the right content should always attract subscribers on it's own. Don't do what all the other sheep do, you don't have to.
@@shou635 Way way to long... Thanks for skipping ahead and not complaining.
@@ommadammo Thanks... Agree about new comers and people that have been with me for 5+ years. I like to please the skippable stuff at the beginning so it's not random throughout the video.. Figured it would help to know where to skip if you need to .
I have the mini and paying $165 I used it for Overlanding, I really love it because it’s powered by 12v and the service is really great, so having connectivity in the wild or in the middle of nowhere is an added security aside from the steel that you carry.
I am in San Diego and bought the Roam Standard for $249 in October and the Mini for $449 (November). Stoked to get them both on sale. I bought the Standard directly from Starlink but got the Mini from Best Buy. Anyone trying to buy direct from Starlink in SoCal currently is getting waitlisted due to max capacity (like you were saying). Thankful to have added this to my emergency preparations. It wasn't cheap but I look at it as an investment. It'll double as a comms solution for camping/overlanding as well. New sub, thank you for the great content!
We have both mini and residential. Mini for camping/RV'ing and residential for home. And yea, we have to turn on service off and activate the other...not a big deal but a single plan where you can toggle between residential and mini would be very cool. We use the unlimited roaming plan for the mini since I work while on the road.

I bought the Mini and it’s affixed to the inside roof of my CyberTruck via 3D printed mount and suction cups. I cannot tell you how incredibly useful this is for me. I own a tech company and I’m constantly driving from Florida to other states and needless to say Internet is spotty at best. This is a lifesaver as my business is 60% virtual paperwork for contracts and research. Now I can take longer trips to remote locations and just enjoy the natural beauty of this country.
This is perfect for people who travel on the road. Too bad monthly price doesn’t come down for majority of subscribers. Thanks for sharing the video.
Agree.
This is Terrible for people who travel, it's literally useless. Streaming a 4k movie uses roughly 10 gigabytes per hour...
I know the goal of Starlink is to bring Internet to people who can't get broadband, but it's people like me who travel constantly and NEED unlimited data who would make up the majority of Starlink customers... Assuming it fit our needs.
I go through 250 gigs of phone data per month and I'm not even considered a heavy user. My sister uses over 3 terabytes of data for her job.
@@tr-lj2vx I use 13Gb per month, wife uses less than 5 on our phones.
Guess we have other things to do
I setup a starlink mini for my dad that the owners of where he works gave him.
I was super excited to test it and get it working well. Little did I know it was on the 50GB plan, and I ended up using up the ENTIRE FIFTY GIGS IN TWO HOURS!! Because I was doing so many speed tests and uploading pictures and videos from the trip, hahaha
I have been using the mini in Subaru for $30/mth with my home plan version 2 from the start. Use it while driving in US and Canada often. Works great in both countries.
I have the mini. I use it for work and run it off of an Anker Solix C200. Absolutely love this thing! Worth every penny!
Thanks!
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 Thank you so much for your kindness and support!! 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
I have a Gen2 we used for camping and now a Mini. I'm torn because I love the Gen2 but the Mini is incredible. I leave it in my backpack all the time.
Love your videos.

Our monthly residential costs have been $120/month since May 2023.
Next payment for December 2024 is the same.
Todays speed test: downloads:169Mbps, uploads:23, latency:23
I’m a full-time traveler who recently switched from years of using a Verizon MiFi device. Two months ago, I took possession of my Star Link 3rd generation (roaming), and it works as advertised at $165.00.
This product will force the Verizon & ATT companies to offer discounts for their MiFi devices to become an internet price war in 2025
Starlink Mini hardware now US$186, and Roam 50 GB plan is US$50 monthly here in Asunción Paraguay, South America. Greetings. PD: I'm a new subscriber since today.
Live in the PNW. Got Starlink 1 1/2 years ago. Offered the mini dish for $30/mo and decided to get it for my RV. I was surprised by this offer, hearing there is a waiting list in this area.
Just purchased the residential unit and service here in Arizona . $249 for dish (limited time purchase) and $120 a month for service. Would really like to see a price drop in service for Veterans and Retired people.
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 WOW!!!!!!
You have done a great job on all you do .thanks alot
Thanks so much!!! Blessings!
Oh My God. finally i travelled to get my own stralink kit. after long following your videos and watching many having this kit. now i have it too. thanks to your channel
I received an offer of AU$299 For the kit & $50 per month. (Australia)
Price has not dropped for me yet but I don’t care. My town was hit head on by Hurricane Helene in September. The town was without power and all traditional internet providers were out of service for 9 days. 3 hours after the hurricane, I checked the roof and my Starlink satellite dish was still there. I connected my generator and had internet immediately. Elon Musk is my hero😀
Having two dishes and only one account would not work for me because I have cameras and sensors that keep working when I’m away.
I purchased the mini bundled last week and activated it yesterday. needing to replace a cell phone, trying to find out pricing for the T-Mobile DTC plan. I use it mainly for wifi calling as cell reception is extremely poor where I live.
If you have the bundled and paying $30 a month, if you pause it, when you reactivate it, it will go to $50 (or the current pricing for normal subscription). That is the risk you pay. You can pause, but you lose the lower monthly rate.
It was drawing only 36-37 watts. However, the minimum supply required is 100w. I think that is to ensure a constant power source for the mini, and especially if you need to heat the dish. I had it plugged into my car's 12V system.
You will need to buy the cable that allows you to plug into a USB-C connection. It was a little shy of $35 from StarLink.
Hi I live in South Australia and Starlink offered me 50gig roaming deal for $50 per month and the Mini dish for $299 Australian $
I have taken them up for the deal and should see the mini in the mail on Monday.
I’m already a Starlink customer for the past 2yrs or so. Paying $140/ month soon $190/ month with both services.
I definitely injoy informative channel.
Cheers Neil.
If they Go Public I plan to invest in Starlink
Info starts at 3:05
I live remotely and I camp a lot and I don’t want to pay for 2 Starlinks so the mini unlimited is the answer. Easy to understand. I have both a gen three and a mini. trying to determine best approach for subscriptions
Northeast Indiana residential 299.00 and 120.00 per month since September no problem at all.
Not dropping the price for residential service with a regular size dish are they... Oh well. Best service I can get in the middle of nowhere.
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 I hope they do soon 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
It'll probably start dropping once Starship is launching the new satelites.
They'll be serving more customers with cheaper launches.
mini kit is ideal for campers and pensioners love their campers. In Europe i noticed today that there was 25 euros monthly and the mini dish is 322 euros. They call it the starlink mini studio
gen 3 res 120.00 a mth 399.00 for hardware looking forward to 55.00 a mth for res plan
I've got a Gen 3 dish, which I modified a mount to replace the TV antenna on my RV (yes, you can raise, lower, and rotate it from inside the RV - when lowered and locked for travel it works in motion)... Plus, when parked next to the house I've got a range extender to cover the house... We expect to cancel our cable Internet soon, since Starlink actually has lower latency (for phone calls) and reliability (even in snow storms!).
i own the business dish now i have brought the mini to go climb some mountains on dish $329 Aussie dollars and the unlimited plan
I had the v2 since August of 22 on my house and worked great, then when they lowered the v3 price I purchased that and installed the v3 on the house and moved the v2 to a roam plan @$150m to my rv and that was a great addition to the rv experience no more internet issues and it is paused when not in use.
I had thought about changing the v2 on the rv to a mini but the v2 works just fine and hard to justify the cost of the hardware at lower speeds imho.
The mini is a nice option if you want the battery feature.
Just ordered the mini in Canada! Just happy it’s available now.
I love my mini and I use an USB-C to the dc in to bypass the use of the AC plug, I’ve noticed this setup is much more efficient.
I am using a starlink mini dish as my daily driver.
I have been using it for 3 months and have no problems.
Sweet!
Since I'm a content creator on RUclips living out in the country near no one, Starlink is the only way I can upload 3 videos a week and livestream once a week. I purchased their business plan which is $250 a month but gives me priority connection during congested peak hours. I love it. It's very fast and never goes out.
Are there really any congestion times?
Starlink will be worth over a trillion market cap one day.
I would love your plan, to be able to have two dishes and switch the residential service between them, even with a 50GB limit on mobile.
I WOULD get the mini with the new pricing IF you could pause the mobile service.
But I am REALLY getting a bit peeved that slowly over time my regular roaming plan JUST KEEPS GOING UP AND UP!!! $95 to $110 to $120 to $135... now it's all the way up to $165!
I can't even imagine what this will look like with SpaceX popping out 100 V3's ATA TIME one a reusable rocket system!! With multiple towers they can literally launch them into space faster than they can make them!
In WY. 90.00 per month gen 3 residential 300-440 Mbps on average. Really happy so far. 349.00. For the price of these i think they should allow the customer to add 1 of whatever mount meets their needs instead of the ridiculous kick stand
sweet
I bought the mini for our RV travels. Works so good we cut the cord and use our mini for home and travel.
That's a great idea!
I need that mini for trips with the kids and to be safe.
Just bought the standard kit. Paid $358 for the kit and $50 for the monthly service. Initial speed test shows between 180-250Mbps. Located in the southern part of Norway.
N/E Idaho and it was a game changer..6mps to avg 190.. Its been great for 2years...
Thanks !!!! And I’m praying you’re right about it getting better. The high speed has been excellent but not the increase in price! Appreciate your podcast! Mickey
Do any of the starlink parts you receive for service have any cameras, listening devices, or other invasive features?
Nope
That's amazon and google
Had a price rise in my monthly subscription, I'm in Snowflake Arizona with open skies, not happy with the increase, I have the traveling set up, and have been stationary since purchased in September of 2023, this the second month of increase and its currently December. Considering pausing the service and going to another company, maybe T-mobile? just haven't made the move, I reside off grid and am retired and was honestly disappointed when I got the raise!!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Mickey Arbogast
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 It's hard when prices go up and even worse if and when speeds go down due to congestion.. Things will be getting much better soon!
I am receiving my Gen 3 today . I paid $249 for the standard 3. I plan on using it in the Roam mode in my motorhome.
Personally, I wish they would implement a per GB plan for residential use so I could use Starlink as a backup to my primary ISP.
Just bought a Mini-but only because of the pause feature. I would take $50/mo with pause over $30/mo without pause. If Elon eliminates this option, I’ve just wasted $400. As for the plan pricing, it is super simple: If you’ll use less than 165GB/mo, the 50GB/mo plan is the cheapest option.
I am in BC Canada just bought yesterday, mini is $399CA.. &$50.
Consider the value of the Canadian dollar.
I got a travel case for my star link standard and I love it. It’s nylon waterproof. I still think I’m gonna get the hard shell from SpaceX so at some point for traveling I want to airplane before right now. I think we’re good.
Great idea!
Two dishes on one roaming plan would be perfect. We leave our starlink in a remote location and need roaming as we sometimes use it on a boat. It's probably only used for 90 days a year, so it would be great to be able to use a second mini dish at other times.
Darn! The residential monthly price didn’t come down. If it ever does come down to where I can afford it I’ll get. Great channel, JC.
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 Sadly.. Thanks for being here!
I gave them the feedback when I got the Mini a long time ago when invited with the similar plan of what is being offered right now... the Mini 50GB plan for $30 is attached. It makes your Residential Plan $150 a month. The issue I have is the 50GB getting used up. I suggested that the Residential & the Mini Roam plan SHARE the capped overall data priority cap. So, if BOTH go over, the residential will loose priority & the Mini will be restricted. Otherwise, the Mini will be regular roam and the Residential will be regular... if that makes sense. I may go weeks without using my Mini then heavily use it a week or so at a time.
Living in mountains, internet access has always been a problem. Recently cell tower access has improved and cellular home internet is now available for only $35 a month. Starlink is looking more and more attractive.
The mini is good for the boat
great video! Ive been considering purchasing a Starlink
As of right now mine is still 120.00 a month. I did get a free month for getting my nephew to get it.
Likewise! Sweet!
I was in the early Mini offer back in July for $599, but my monthly service has always been $28.95 for the Mini (added to my Starlink account with my regular starlink dish).
Keep up the good work. I Pay $129 in Tennessee and $99 in the U.S.V.I. Hoping they they lower in either place.
Awesome Plan, Mini on my Jeep Gladiator!
Standard dish-satisfied customer.
I had this idea about 2 dishes on one account a couple months ago and contacted Starlink about this. They told me each dish has to have its own account. So now I have a standard dish and a mini. Doesn't make sense, but here we are. I have use for both but def didn't want to pay for 2 accounts. So now I will pause my standard when not in use.
I'd get residential, but if we are forced to evacuate it won't work. I'd like to see the Residential have an option, when the network sees the dish is relocated, you would automatically switch to ROAM. You would pay the $50 for the entire month. $170 is not a big deal during an emergency.
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 $165 is high but not it's international wish is interesting.. You can take it anywhere on the planet that the government allows.
I wouldn’t want to switch my service to the mini dish while away as I need to stay connected at ‘base camp’ to access my systems. I have relatives out in the sticks so this will be great to stay connected. 50GB allowance is ample for a week away it’s not like I’d be doing a 12GB MacOS update while away or watching loads of 4K movies that would be a bit anti-social :-)
That makes sense for sure... Two plans would work for your needs! 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
i like the mini - i use it on the road one -two time per month- i dont use all the 50gig. i also have the residential - i pay 120 for that and 30 for the mini for a total of 150 for both dishes
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
I have the GEN 2 the GEN 3 and I ordered the mini last week. I’ll let you know how it fares compared to the others. I work in construction areas with no cell service or internet that’s why I got it
3 ... WOW!!! 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
@ update the plane includes on water and in motion tried it out while driving through the smoky mountains bad coverage still getting around 50 down 20 MS and 11 upload on average with a bunch of trees in the way while moving
where do you find how many gigs you are using?
Like the idea of a switch on a app. I said same thing other than the app. I discussed this with starlink also. Just told not available. Keep the $120/month but use switch for one or other but not both at same time.
I pay $120. Our price increased $10 April-May 2023. Northern Ca. (Not the liberal area)
Ouch! 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
i 🚀 preparing for a year on the road in my Model Y. nice timing.
With demand as high as it is, I'm surprised they're lowering the prices at all. Now they have 4 million subscribers, they must be insanely profitable. A good product for people who can't get anything else but for everyone else, way too expensive in my opinion for the speeds offered.
Mine is getting worse instead of better. I use to get a pretty steady 150 to 200 dload but now most of the time it's below 150 and a lot of times it below 100 download.. and on Sunday night you might as well forget to watch tv it's down to 10 and lower. And i do have a clear view to the satellite.
OUch!
That's a lot better. $600 was way outta pocket for me. I just want the thing for camping and outdoors. I want to be able to turn it on, and off when I want and not get corn holed in the process.
agree
Waited for 18 months on the list for Starlink. Finally got it, after they raised their price from $90 to $120 a month. Speeds have gotten better but honestly, I can't wait for summer 2025 now that they are FINALLY putting in fiber to the home in my rural area (the orange tubes are already being shoved under the ground in front of my property). Already signed up. Twice the speed and less than the old Starlink price. Will be selling my Gen 2 dish a month after the fiber goes live.
I have ZERO interest in any internet service with data caps, regardless of the price "savings".
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 Yummy Fiber
Do you need the Starlink mini to use the unlimited Roam service or can you use the standard?
No.. You can use one of of of the other dish but the mini gives you the added functionality of battery power (MADE EASY)
Thanks @@jcristina
Starlink really needs an authorized installer network. I’m on the East Coast we have an IT business and are installing four or five systems a month. In rural areas the elderly need the service but are often unable physically to do the installation or it’s a bit too complicated for them to order the service choose the installation option best suited for their location and set up the app on their phone and so forth. We often have to walk them through the ordering process and setting up the necessary app and password. Then we also experience customers who are wealthy and would rather hire someone to complete the entire setup for them including setting all their network devices. We try to do a very professional installation but we have came behind several installs where the work was substandard and it appeared the price they charged for the service was a bit misleading to the customer.
It’s how Starlink rolls
Well dang it, I didn’t get that particular email. Ah, but I’m on the grandfathered residential with roam already. 😊 I just want a cheaper Mini period, but I’m reluctant to pay more for less dish.😢
Penrose Colorado 165 a month love it, just pricey
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
iam in india and we are waiting for starlink. it will be great for travelling in Mountainous areas but for city use its pointless because we have the most affordable broadband and 5G in the world.
My home broadband is 30mbps, unlimited data, for rupees 600 per month (USD 7 per month)
and Airtel 5G is rupees 380 (USD 5) per month with 2GB per day and unlimited calling.
AWESOME!!!!! 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
@jcristina thanks
I'm on a New Zealand Spark unlimited $60 a month Cell phone modem. And I live in a 1989 Mitsi bus converted to a bed on wheels. All I need is a 12/24v inverter to 240volts to run the cellphone modem off the bus supply. So I can take it a lot of placed. So long as a cell tower is near me. cell phone modem $150 nzd About $1nzd = 60c usd.
And NZ has a population of 5 million.
Thanks for the info.
Cheers
good for many people ive had problems with internet speed i my pop at Dallas though i live just north of Houston today i just checked its 66 megs of speed it gets up to 250 most of the time that doesnt bother me much because i had att 3to 5 megs down i had my type 2 dish as long as you have
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸 🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
Great idea on the mini switch to roaming.
I’ve never been this early.
My opinion is I don’t think the dish will or should be free, it just will eventually be 200$ or maybe 150$ as it’s affordable and would ensure people that that don’t have to return the dish.
Every other service that provides equipment for free is not good in my opinion because yeh you got it for free however you don’t own it and will have to treat it like it’s brittle glass because if it gets damaged or broken you will have to deal with a massive charge for something you don’t own.
If the dish is 150$ or. 200$ it’s cheap, makes the company money and gives the customer insurance that they don’t have to keep it in almost prestion condition that be returned
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
have you logged into on ONSAT Canada is getting into it?
Hey JCristina, Question. Do you think Starlink just start restricting Residential service to only those who dont have a better option? I know several people who have gotten Starlink because they are just tiered of dealing with other providers and are not concerned with getting 1gb service.
Doubtful.. I will be watching and reporting back of course!!!
I have the gen 3 standard dish and roam unlimited. I chose the setup due to the lower cost of the dish and the number of devices I plan to connect.
You can pause the mini plan o can share screen shots as I have my mini bundle paused also since the mini came out alot of people were all rdy only paying 30 a month
I wish they will go down on the mouth free but they probably going to go up just like streaming dose. I thinking they going to be getting close to there limits of people that mount it. And I think it’s going to be the end of next year until they can get does bigger satellites up there . Or enough satellites to make a difference. That ok .i do love my Starlink. Have a great day friend.
Good info J
Thank you!!!
This would be worth it if you had it for your house and then got the mini for a trip. I think I'd want to just have the mini and use it for everything. It would still be the better deal if you did that for $165 a month. It isn't as fast but you can take your internet with you. This summer I might get one, I plan to travel. My Mom needs Starlink though, she's paying over $100 for DSL speeds. Where she lives isn't sold out either.
is there a price drop for Europe ?
🛰 🚀 I believe the prices are getting closer oversea before here in the US
I have a mini and a one and a two, haven't hooked up the mini yet, waiting to go camping.
Great Idea!
🛰 🚀 🇺🇸
I would love to get Starlink In central Florida but the Residential plan is still $120 a month ? It’s still to much for a Senior on a budget ! I believe Seniors should get a discount that some companies provide
