There is no expansion announced for the West Coast as of yet.  Just north of Geraldton is the current limit.

Bookleaf, you're a legend. Keep it coming and thanks for the updates.

Bookleaf:
Starlink has just announced in the last 24hrs that, not only do they now sanction roaming, they actually have a system available to enable users to use just the "portability" function.
No different to what some have been doing off their own bat with a bit of fiddling, but now a purchasable, endorsed, with true roaming (new name - Portability) functionality.

Here is one of the links to the details.

Dollars are in $US I assume.
This is available in Australia - now

--- Quote ---STARLINK FOR RVS.
Best Effort Service for RV Users. Network resources are always deprioritized for Starlink RVs users compared to other Starlink Services, resulting in degraded service and slower speeds in congested areas and during peak hours. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of the Service are not guaranteed. Service degradation will occur most often in "Waitlist" areas designated on the Starlink Availability Map during peak usage hours. See the Starlink Specifications for expected performance of the Starlink for RV Services.

Limitation and Requirements or RV Users. Starlink for RV can only be used within the same continent as the registered shipping address. If you use Starlink for RV Services for more than two months in a country that is different than your shipping address, you will be required to move your registered address to your new location or purchase an additional Starlink to maintain Service.

Interesting... you can actually use starlink outside your country for less than 2 months.

We already have it. You can buy it now. You have to buy the equipment, pay the first month, then you can place your account on hold after that, no billing, until you need to use it again. It costs an extra fee too.
