    I enjoyed shopping here at best buy, it’s hassle free, great customer service is been provided & I can find absolutely everything that I’m looking for. When I don’t want to visit a store I just shop online. I have zero issues setting up my starlink modem & it’s working perfectly. I even got it sooner than I was anticipating. Because of how great it exceeds my expectations I decided to grab another one. I always recommend my friends & family to shop here.

    Great Portable Internet Solution at a Low Price!

    The Starlink Mini provides broadband Internet service virtually anywhere you have an unobstructed view of the sky. This is perfect for the RV'er, Off-Grid Camper, Van-Lifer, Hunter, Remote Service Provider, Ham Radio Operator, etc, etc, etc. Originally costing close to $500, this device is a bargain at $229! Setup took only minutes and I was online before I knew it. Speeds were over 250Mbps down and 40Mbps up while the dish sat on the back of my truck, powered by a portable power station. Power consumption averages only about 20w so it will run for quite a while on even the most moderate of portable power devices. Of course, if you have constant AC or DC power, it can run indefinitely! The Mini can run on any of the Starlink "Roam" plans. These include the Unlimited Plan at $165 a month, the 50GB Roam plan at $50 a month and the "Standby" Roam plan at $5 a month. **A fun fact - the Standby plan includes unlimited data capped at 500Kbps upload and download speeds. Now, granted, this is kinda like a speedy dial-up connection but if all you need is WiFi calling, texting, low-res video chat capabilities, simple web browsing, simple data retrieval (think like a database populating customer data, controlling remote internet connected devices like security cameras, thermostats, lights, etc) this is an absolute bargain! The device is solidly built, comes with everything you need to get online and is about the size of a small laptop. I highly recommend it if your use-case scenarios fit a portable, low-power consumption, broadband internet solution that is easily deployed just about anywhere!

    This was Easy to setup. I actually did it as we were driving down the highway in our RV. It helped that we were heading northbound as it said to face north while setting up. Used my cell phone WiFi hotspot to setup and paid for service while my wife and I were traveling! The service was great heading through the mountains of Northern California to southern Oregon! I have travelled this route so many times, but this time I had no problems with sporty cell service! I drive a log truck and purchased this to run my trucking company in the woods. Because in trucking, service is important!

    Good steady signal in my Ford Raptor. I live in a tourist town in the Smokies and when busy you cant stream well due to cell towers being over loaded. Hooked up Starlink and everything worked great.

    Best Buy You Suck

    The starlink mini is great, but Best Buy sucks. I highly recommend the starlink mini but realized I ended up not needing it. So when I went to ship it back I kept getting this error saying “we are not able to print shipping label, try again late”. So I ended up calling customer support and they said “the only way you can return the product is by going to a physical store, we are unable to print a shipping label”. I live on an island off the coast of Alaska (Sitka) and not connected to the road system, so the only way I can return is by shipping it back. The closest Best Buy is in either anchorage or Seattle. I explained that to customer service and they said “unfortunately the only way you can return is by going to a physical store”. So I said ‘so what you’re saying is there’s no way for me to get a refund and there’s nothing you can do?’ And they replied “yes I’m so sorry”. Best Buy you guys suck, worst customer service ever and lazy. Never ordering again from you guys again.

    The Starlink Mini is fantastic! Living in a rural area, reliable internet can be hard to find, but this device has been a real lifesaver. It keeps me connected to the outside world, which has been so important for both my work and my peace of mind. One of my favorite things about it is how easy it is to use on the go — I can plug it into my car, set it by the back window, and have a strong, steady connection wherever I am. I’m really impressed with how well it works and highly recommend it for anyone who needs dependable internet in remote locations. Another thing I love is how durable it is. The Starlink Mini can withstand dirt, water, heavy rain, and even tough storms without any problems. It’s built to handle rough conditions, which makes it perfect for people living or traveling in rugged environments. No matter the weather, I know I can count on it to keep me connected.

    The Starlink system was extremely easy to setup and connect to. It was used in a remote camping site and even with a limited opening in the tree canopy it worked really well. Highly recommend!

    backup for spectrum

    i bought this because i just realized that we need connection constantly for everything. also, of course it's on sale. my son is a full time remote worker, sometimes he calls me that spectrum is down. we had to wait for it to go online again. i might bring this along on road trips specially if we stay in a hotel where internet speeds are abysmal. so far i'm satisfied. this is not a full time connection, i got only 50gb plan. option to add if necessary. see pics for speed compared to spectrum. as a note, i downgraded my Spectrum from 1gb plan to 500mb, i'm paying more for speeds that's less than 500mb. paying for something you're not getting is now a trend nowadays. just money making.

    The mini is the most versatile Starlink you can get! It’s Mobile, small enough you can take from the vehicle to the house no problem. It’s easy to transport and fly with.

    This has worked great even in the middle of the mountains. We are dry camping which means no hookups. We got a Jackery to power it so we don’t have to run our generator as much. My wife was able to work on her School and I can watch my teams play.
