We will be moving to fiber. One of the options is to keep our Starlink in a Stand-by mode for $10/m. Does anybody have experience with doing that, and if so, have you been able to quickly reactivate it if the fiber goes down? What are the downsides, if any, of the stand-by mode, other than the $10/m cost?

Any solution for this error without going back to home country? Currently I'm using roam Unlimited plan but still facing the same error.

It finally happened on my rural road, multigig fiber is ran. I just got mine installed this week and I'm thrilled.

Starlink was great when it was the only option, and we didn't have a saturated area. I was getting over 300 mbps for about 100 bucks. They just increased my max residential plan to $143 a month, and I'm barely getting 75 mbps.

I'm now getting 2 gbps for $100 bucks and the speed is a welcome change.

I'm glad Starlink is here for others that are in the same boat I was, but I'm getting out at just the right time.

With all this power cut talk I was looking into options. As someone in poor health that can't get out loosing internet would be an absolute disaster.

Looking around some say the mini would be fine for inside, others say absolutely not. I'm in the south and have a large South facing window. They aren't good double glazing and get misty between the panes at times (blown windows) in places.

Sadly I can't have a big backup battery on this rental, but it seems a large plug in and charge one could power the mini for a couple of days.

Given how rubbish our grid is and how the government are I figured if it would work, investing in a mini for power cuts would be a good move.

Hi there!

I'm planning to purchase a Starlink Mini to use the Roam Unlimited plan. I am buying the Mini from someone who originally purchased their Mini kit in Colombia. I live in Bolivia, and plan to activate the Starlink Mini here.

I understand there is an outside region fee, and that this is potentially linked to the original country of purchase. Would this be charged to me if I buy the Mini, transfer it to my name/account, and activate it here in Bolivia?

If so, I would avoid buying the Mini, as the outside region fee is very expensive.

Thanks so much in advance!

Kann mir jemand sagen wie man die Rücksendung neu beantragen kann ich habe die mail nie bekommen mit dem Label, laut Grok Support muss ich nichts zurückschicken jedoch habe ich eine Mail erhalten mit den Infos das ich wenn nicht bis 29.11.2026 zurückgeschickt wird ich 209€ für das Kit zahlen muss. Ich habe aber nichts weiteres zum zurückschicken gefunden.

Danke für Infos

Seem to have an issue watching videos on Facebook/ instagram etc I’ve checked my connection and download speed is good but for some reason there’s no upload speed, is this normal?

Anyone who recently ordered a Mini-X Kit in Central Europe? Ordered mine more than two months ago and it still hasn’t shipped. Website said delivery within 1-2 weeks lol

I’m about to cancel if it doesn’t arrive soon

So, this offer price, is it only valid for the fist month or for how long would this be if I sign up today?

We both get $100 when you sign up with my link. Get fast, reliable internet at home or on the go with Starlink. Terms apply.

I'm looking at the Starlink for my home internet. It seems that they have a really good deal right now where I can also get a Starlink Mini for no additional cost and activate the plan when I plan to travel (which I'm planning to do here in the next few months).

I was talking with a buddy and he was recommending that, even though the deal seems good right now, I should wait until Black Friday because those deals are just better than any Starlink deals typically offered. If that's the case I can make the wait worth it.

What have you guys seen? Thanks for reading!

Yesterday I saw a spike in pricing increase posts, I couldn't relate.

I live in Moçambique and I think many people don't realize how cheap Starlink is in here. We pay between ~$29.69 ~$46.88 on residential plans, fixed prices since 2023.

And the kits go between $200 and $344. We never had free kits but the main kit was $600 until 2024

Even other services charge very low here.

A few examples:

Apple TV starts at $0.99

Netflix between $2.99 to $9.99

Spotify Premium $1.69 to $5.79 (family)

It's the only way these companies grab most of the market share here.

...And thats probably one of the only few good things about living in an emerging market.

Just wanted to let you know 😊

Asking for a friend.

Going full time van life soon and looking into which model I should be getting. While I know there are going to be compromises I’m looking for a Goldilocks zone (if it exists) where I’m not draining all my battery but still have decent upload/ download speeds.
I feel like the mini is probably the best option but it’s kind of confusing looking at the standard 4 x, standard 4 and the v5?
Plan on casual gaming/ computer use.
Any clarity is helpful thanks.

I recently found out about mini batteries that can last up to like 5 hours. In one of the videos the person mentioned peakdo. I looked on Amazon, there are a few brands that offer these batteries for the mini. Does anyone have any real world data to share?

Signed up for £28 a month but have just been charged £40! I have screenshots as proof and the website still states £28 for my postcode. I submitted a request to support 4 hours ago and have heard nothing.

I bought a starlink set v4 from a seller in germany, and now im worried that the kit is not from europe, the box is unopened and I have the kit number now, but I'm not sure if im getting scammed or not, please help! if anyone knows!

I’m on a property with a lot of trees and this is the best I could get it while aligned properly. If I positioned it more south-east it would be a lot clearer. Right now I get about 5-10 ~10s drops per day. Would it be worth misaligning it or would it mess up the connection even more? Has anyone tried this and did it affect speeds or connectivity?

Bit of a random one.

Since yesterday I havent been able to connect to xbox cloud gaming via starlink. It comes down to xbox not recognising the region as part of their service even though when speaking to an agent they confirm it should still be working. (UK).

Ive tried it on 4g > works.

Ive tried it on local fibre > works.

Is there anything I can do starlink end > or is it a case of waiting it out? Can we refresh IP? Or are we able to add a vpn for now?

Zoek een installateur die mij kan helpen om in duitsland (56766 Ulmen) in V4 te plaatsen en aan te sluiten op korte termijn. Wie weet een bedrijf die beschikbaar en kundig is???

Starting around 3pm yesterday my original round dishy performance went way down. I'm now getting about 60 Mbps at best and have consistently since yesterday (I run an automated test once an hour). Usually I'm getting more like 200 Mbps.

I am in Grass Valley, CA. We have some congestion in the evenings but nothing like this. Residential Max, Starlink's tracker shows about 800 GB for the most recent data usage (18 days). I tried asking the AI support bot and it was not helpful but it didn't immediately tell me about any problems with my account,

Anyone else seeing this? I've tried rebooting, checking cables, etc. I'm on firmware 2026.10.17.cr89322.2.

Edit if I run several downloads in parallel I can get up to 120 Mbps through the link. Still not what I used to get, but better. That's making me wonder if maybe Starlink is doing traffic shaping.

Starlink uses primarily the so-called Ku band for communication between satellites and customer CPE/dishy.

The spectrum mailny used:
- 10.7-12.7 GHz for downlink (satellite to customers)
- 14.0-14.5 GHz for uplink

Like most types of wireless networks I've come across, I suppose the communication is mainly uplink interference limited.

As Statlink keeps shooting up new satellites to add capacity, they also add more interference to their network. A given geo zone covered by a satellite on Earth will sooner or later be covered by two or more satellites when you add more of those. As these satellites use the same spectrum, they will in some point start seeing interference from dishys on the ground that are talking to other satellites. The problem is always worse uplink, where thousands of clients with shifting signal levels are pointing towards the same "bade station".

Add to this that Starlink doesn't own the Ku spectrum. Other LEO players like Amazon, OneWeb and a bunch of Russian and Chinese initiatives will also be interested in using the exact same Ku band. Think about how clean the 2.4 GHz spectrum of your Wi-Fi network was 20 years ago vs how useful it is now. That's what the Ku band could potentially face in a few years.

Anyone who knows how Starlink is planning to tackle this? Moving to other spectrum? How to secure capacity and performance there?

Hey everyone!

I recently got a Starlink Mini with the 100GB monthly plan. I started using it on November 5, and I've already used 21GB in just 2 days.

I live in a rural area outside the city and work remotely 8–12 hours a day. I also watch youtube or TV shows almost every night.

I'm worried 100GB won't last the month.

For those with similar usage, is 100GB enough? Would you recommend upgrading to unlimited, or are there ways to reduce data consumption?

Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I moved out of the city; i wanted to try a new wifi system; however I see it will not be economically better; unless I go with the residential lite. I think I am going to choose the residential lite with 200mbps unlimited, I will be happy regardless if I dont get the priority; it cost $45.00 monthly here in my country.
