We ordered the Mobile Regional although I’m not sure what “regional“ really means. I’m hoping the region is the lower 48 or so. Maybe even Canada and Alaska? That would be nice but probably hoping for too much. I couldn’t find “region” defined in their literature.

Edit: I just found this on Mobile Internet for RV & Boats - Unbiased News, Guidance & Education - “home continent” sounds like an acceptable region:

• Regional - $150/mo for unlimited land-based use on your home continent.

I received a similar email from Starlink yesterday.... significantly different prices though.

Just out of curiosity, for you existing starlink users, do your rates go up when they do this too, or does it just affect new customers?

Starlink agreements are month to month. Prices have changed on my residential plan whenever price of the Program changes. Usually the next billing cycle or two.

that’s not exactly comforting

I had signed up for the Beta for my area (Birch Bay Wa) but never did follow through. Ever since, I get an email about once a month with some type of offer. In April, it was hardware for $199 vs the regular cost of $599. This week it was the high priority package for $329 and $759 for hardware when another who posted here received a similar email offering the same package at $250 and $599 for hardware. I suspect their pricing strategy and subsequent policy is derived from a highly complex algorithm based on what Elon has for breakfast everyday!

Tell me about it!

When we first started using Starlink Business, it was unlimited data. Then it went to 1TB per month with option to buy more "priority" data at $50 a gig if you went over the limit. But you got free data between 1:00AM and 5:00AM. Now they dropped the free data and it's ALL priority data.

It's still the best game in town, but damn, I never know what's coming next.

Yesterday evening, we lost both the park Starlink and the RV Starlink at home. I see today that Starlink admits there was an outage, but it has been remedied. No mention of what it was that caused the outage though.

 

[Neal]

Yeah, I saw on social media a worldwide outage, curious if they got attacked in someway. Certainly a vulnerability of this type of service.
