So Anthony, for a grey haired Neanderthal with a slab of rock, hammer and chisel, what is the minimum entry requirement for me to come forth from the 18th century?

Not Anthony but I'll answer until he's back online:- The uncanny ability to make the Finance Minister believe you bought the new round shiny toy for her!  :cup:

The RV system (which is the same as the home system) costs about $1000 to buy the gear. Add another $350 if you buy the Starlink carry case for it. More if you buy third party cases.

The RV monthly access cost is about $175 for the months you activate it within.

There is a fair use policy that geeks are just having a whinge on:-

IMHO, Starlink is too new for what it offers, and it could only run into issues as demand intensified.

I believe Starlink will need to move to a speed-based system. Unlimited use is acceptable and most internet is now unlimited, but speed based allows Starlink to plan their infrastructure and connections better.

A 25/10 plan for most people/couples is more than they will use. 50/25 your average household will never use (parents and kids), which is a good selling point and still abundant for households.

It would not surprise me if Starlink moves to a speed-based system soon.
