I resisted this purchase for some time and I am glad we finally made the jump.very pleased with the speeds we are achieving and how easy it is to setup and get running.

Very easy to setup and works great. Set it up for my mother in her Tesla Model X because she has no service in many of the areas around her house. I really want another one to put in my Cybertruck, but it’s rare that I don’t have service. Most of the Speedtests come in around 150mbps.

It was fast and easy to set up. We go to the sand dunes on busy holiday weekends and cell coverage is overwhelmed so service is spotty. We set on top of our RV and my son was play xbox online streaming and my wife and i where watching a 4k movie. No issues, solid internet all weekend. Perfect for when you are out in the boonies! I will permanently mounting on RV roof for traveling internet in spotty coverage areas!

Very awesome unit. I drove 6 hours from Southern California to Arizona and had flawless connection. Average speed for me was 130. I just laid rhe unit in the dash. But remember to get a black silicone case so there’s no reflection. Would recommend this unit.

I live in Alaska where I often camp in remote wilderness including areas in Canada's Yukon Territories, where communications connection to the world is nonexistent. I recently purchased the STARLINK Mini and took it with me to the wilds of the Alsek-Tatsenshini in northern British Columbia. I camped solo for a week, but because of STARLINK, I was not alone. Thank you for this gift to humanity that gives us a way to be with one another, regardless of where one might be, and provide a sense of peace and security especially in times of need.

Bought this right before it went on sale and Best Buy gave me a price match which was great.
As for functionality I tested in the remote area close to Death Valley on an OHV trip. I was able to get 400Mbs and tested iMessage, surfing, streaming and in particular to my home Plex server. I have a 1Gb connection at home and I wanted to see if I could stream. - worked flawlessly on 1080 but on 4k I would get some buffering.
As for features the starlink units are great. I use GLinet components for my router at home and I was able to create a vpn tunnel back to my desktop as a test. I did get some lag but it’s within reason since I am doing this through a satellite system.
The maintenance option Is the plan I have for now but I will only activate my full plan when I travel off grid in certain countries and I’m well out of range from any cell towers.
I have also paired this with a Anker Solix c300 for complete off grid use. I get about a 3.5 hour runtime with this unit using the cigarette adapter. Great for when I’m out on the road overlanding or camping and I don’t want to keep the car running.

This is something you need! look if you (here on the east coast) have another storm, AT&T outage, or another power outage - you and your family NEED to communicate! This can be a lifesaver during a disaster! To make it even better, Starlink recently bumped their 50 gig a month plan to 100 gig with no change in cost!

We bought this Starlink Mini for use on our RV trips. It works great, some lag and occasional, very intermittent, signal drop but generally not noticeable. The subscription is a little spendy but considering the quality and convenience, well worth the cost.

The Starlink mini works great. Whether mounted in the roof of my car on the go or stationary on the ground, it provides stable internet. I have gotten range far exceeding the rating with no obstructions.
The only downside is if you need support, do not hold your breath. Starlink operates like all of Elon’s companies where they remove everything except app based support. Of course, if you cannot access things that way, you are simply out of luck. That said, support needs should be rare because it works well right out of the box.

I love my starling, Minnie, The service with Starlink is very good, I use the roam plan unlimited which is a little expensive $165 a month but I can’t complain. I live in a rural area where there is no other. Internet service available so it’s perfect for me. Plus I’m a traveler and I can use it anywhere in the world.
