Thread: Starlink Mini Kit

Thank you for this, if the plans come down a touch it will be a serious option for an emergency contact kit if the brown stuff hits the whirly thing. I will have to have a look and see if they offer some sort of combo deal with a residential plan...

The plans are not contracts so you can start and stop them when you need

From memory the plans run month to month, meaning 1st to the 31st. If you span a couple of months you will be hit with two months charges. Still worth it if your need is high enough.

Be nice to combo it in with the main residential plan though and data-share when you need it. Not likely Elon will be into that though when he can charge two plans the bugger. I recently dropped back to the residential lite plan after XR500 mentioned he hadn't noticed any difference in speeds etc - saves $80 a month and to be fair I haven't noticed any throttling effects either.

I'm not planning on "using" the lite setup at any stage - it's more that it's an awesome connectivity backup if we have a Gabrielle situation or White Island shite's itself or a main fault lets go sort of thing - not requiring the fuel aspect to run a generator to power comms would be very handy. I have a solar panel and a 12v battery and it would run the little unit virtually indefinitely from what I can tell.
