Starlink advantage?

[mongo]

We have Starlink for our home with the max plan, which includes a 50% discount on our roam plan for the Starlink Mini in our truck. Cell service is unavailable in the area where we live. The local internet is slow, and our phone service is also affected during power outages.The Internet goes down weekly even without losing power. For our business, Starlink is essential for both working remotely and maintaining reliable communication through calls. We use a Pecron LP500 unit located under the backseat of our truck. This unit powers our Cybergear fridge and Starlink Mini, providing backup functionality to our main Starlink system.

Heads up to others, this Starlink residential max + mini bundle was discontinued June 6th. Previous adopters are grandfathered in though.

Thank you. I forgot to add that the bundle is no longer available. Rumor mill says the new mini is supposed to come with a battery.

Tesla Sim card is ATT. my starlink has worked all over the earth.
My truck has lost connection in remote locations. My RV runs on Starlink.

I don’t use my mini and when they increased the fee I wanted to return it. I frequently drive where there is no cell service, so my husband said for $10 a month he likes that I’d have slow service if I had any trouble. So we keep it in the truck for emergencies.

What is the purpose of installing Starlink ON the truck if you have Premium Connectivity.

We are on a road trip right now and I forgot to bring my Mini and we have had very splotchy connectivity at times. The Mini would have fixed that.

for the everyday average driver - nothing. a lot of folks who participate on his forum are travelers with family and go off-road -- for them having access to data may be warranted if they have children, want to work and need access in remote areas, etc. but for you and me, who drive daily and treat our cars like parking lot princesses , premium connectivity is all we need.

i ended up getting a router installed in my car because i live in a condo with garaging under the building. my home router does not reach the car, but the router in the car has cellular connectivity. i like this so my car can upload logs to the mothership, be in-line to get updates faster, and just to be always connected.

Count me as one of those everyday drivers that rarely is in a location without cell signal…but I wanted a Mini for those times that I need it. Got one in December. Have I had to ‘really’ use it (in a location without cell signal)? Nope. lol.

About once or twice a year, we’ll do long weekends in Maine, NH, or VT where there are spots without cell service. So, for those times, I’ll have Starlink available lol.

3d printed Milwaukee battery charger. I bring a plug in charger and a couple batteries. Works perfect.

That’s fun what’s the connection look like?

That’s pretty cool. 3d printing so cool so many ideas and ways to go about something.

Starlink works fine driving? Thought I read you need a special plan if moving at speed. My use would be for driving and keeping connectivity in remote areas.

Perfectly fine driving. I don’t notice any drop in speed until I’m around 85mph.

Roam works up to 100 MPH, then you need an aviation plan.
