This video does a whole lotta whining about everything the Mini service plan DOESN'T do. And all the hate in the comments?! FFS, some of you really need to work on your coping skills. I'm going to go thru the list of negatives in the video and instead focus on what it DOES do: ~ $30/mo - PERFECT!! It's an ADD ON. It could easily have been $50 or higher. ~ Only can be added to Standard (Residential), $12O/mo - PERFECT!! I have service at a fixed location in southern Utah where I cannot get cable or other high speed service. My router serves two tiny homes side by side. I also travel a lot - not nomading for long periods - and spend 1-3 days in remote areas where cellular is poor or non-existent, so this is where the mini comes in handy. ~ Only includes 50GB of mobile data ($1/GB after that) - PERFECT!! Again, it's an ADD ON to serve where cellular does not. 50GB in a month is plenty sufficient for the amount and type of travel I do. The smaller size, weight and built-in router just makes it all the better. For years I paid nearly the same for Verizons highest mobile hotspot bandwidth, and it was only 15GB. ~ Can not pause - PERFECT!! This is not supposed to be a service for RVers/Nomaders. There are other service plans already for those users: Mobile and Roam. ~ US Use Only - PERFECT!! ~ No In Motion or Ocean Use - ALMOST PERFECT!! OK, so yeah. In Motion would have been nice, but let's go back to the price... $30/mo! On most of these points, let's also remember that this is just an initial service offering and the options will likely be expanded in the not-too-distant future. Pause the hate just a moment, take a deep breath, and think about how far Starlink has come in just a little over three years (plans launched March 2021) How easily we forget that prior to that, the best thing out there was HughesNet, which sure as shit wasn't fast, unlimited, reliable, mobile, in-motion or well... usable. HOWEVER... $600 for the dish itself?! Yeah, that stings. I get that miniaturization costs money and we're paying for the new tech (especially built-in router). Also, this is likely an initial price for early adopters and the price will come down. But the dish price is the ONLY factor I'm bummed about. So now I'm debating whether to go ahead and order now or hold off and see what happens a little down the road.

Mobile cell and data service is usually 1/10th the price of US and Canada in 3rd world countries. So, Starlink is much more fair.

I got the offer today but the cost for hardware is $599.00.

Please talk about performance on a (moving) boat.

Excellent content and information, and thank you for sharing your connectivity options. As a part-timer, I'm always looking for better options than my current setup. Hi Jen.

I ordered the Starlink Mini and will try it at our remote off grid cabin in Canada after it arrives.

Does anyone know how good the streaming is with the hotspot in rural areas?

Thanks for keeping us abreast of the latest developments!

I would totally purchase this mini if was available. I need it for work.

Any information on this vs the surecall max

IMO, It's a wasted opportunity that Starlink Mini is primarily envisioned to be AC powered. If Mini is intended to be used by people Backpacking, Hiking, maybe Off-Roading or otherwise going off-gird with limited access to AC Power, it would have been better to be directly USB-C powered rather then requiring a special adapter cable for a DC Barrel. Also, why does it need a 100W (20V5A) USB-PD supply if the Dish only consumes under 30W? Possibly it's to allow to the potential usage of the snow melting heater. but if that feature can be disable, could a user get away with using lower wattage USB-PD such as 60W (20V3A)?

That’s what discourages me. The cost is higher than my jetpack. If they can get that data rate 100gb at 30$ they got a new customer.

Holy shit. 100mbit is 0€ where I live and 600 mbit for 19,95€, always unlimited.

This is dumb this mini dish would be perfect for camping and what not but just cant get behind the 50gig/30$ plan with a 499 buy in. That way to much

I'm already paying $150 for Starlink residential with travel. This Mini is a gimmick. 50GB of data? GTFOH

My phones plan includes hotspot, it always worked until 5 months ago and now it has not worked since. I've spent hours and hours on the phone to fix the issue and they have not be able to fix the issue and have up. So I bought a hotspot from them th Moxie 5G, I bought the $50 plan and it's the same as my phone nothing ever connects my friends phone and tablet and mine and nothing is able to connect. I've spent over 2 hours on the phone and same as my phone they say "Were unable to fix the issue we see happening and cannot help you." USELESS COMPANY, USELESS PRODUCTS AND USELESS TECH SUPPORT. DO NOT BUY!

Come on, Starlink. Give us the REAL price for US customers. 🙂

Another hypothesis. Maybe the prices in Developed Countries, such as the US, have be somewhat inflated in order to “subsidised” hardware & plans in the developing world. Starlink Subscribers from Higher Income Countries could absorb these increased costs in a way that those that are in Latin America, as example, can’t. SpaceX wants to grow their customer base so they could be open to a little peter robbing for marketshare

Also, why can some of the USA get a new starlink kit for $300 but other states can't?

Im Australia we pay 139 dollar Standard and 179 roaming. Germany 50 euro 59 roaming,France 40 Euro that's half price from what we pay . I would love the mini but not for that price .

I'm team Jen...

Price gouging or corporate greed. They certainly aren't losing money in central America.

Thanks Cherie Jen and Suzy for taking the time to Share your system, and letting us know how well they have worked for you.

I'm guessing the US will eventually get the unlimited plan for $79, dish for $399

I have the US standard service for $120/month. I also RV about a weel each month from April to October inclusive. As far as I am concerned Musk can keep the mini setup. I was considering it but until I can buy the mini for $200 and have unlimited data for no more than $35/month and pause it for the off season I will not bite. The $120/month is more than Musk deserves.

I just got the email. 599 and 30 a month for Mid-Missouri.

Just noticed this on the web site: "$499 price crossed out and states $299 for the Starlink Kit at some locations. Enter your address below to learn more." This is for the home residential kit.

Starlink is competitive with the few local offerings we have for fiber IPs, with better connection than those currenty have. So I'm fine with the regional difference in pricing of Starlink service as long as it is helping continue to build up the infrastructure to give folks in those countries affordable access to Starlink as an IP.

Haven't you gotten the memo? All US customers are wealthy and need to be charged way more than anyone else.

We always get stuck paying higher prices and crappy plans American last as usual 😠

👎👎👎

Great information. I was watching a RUclips video yesterday on Air Stream 2025 Atlas B Class. They come with a Starlink mini. I was surprised to see it. We haven’t purchased Starlink yet. I fear that it being the only “game in town” that Musk can raise prices when ever he wants. What do you think? Thanks for update!!

Colombia is considered South America. We just left there and had switched our account to Colombia. For whatever reason, we just got an email saying our plan price s going up by $20 per month from ~$65 to $85. Meanwhile in Ecuador where we are now prices did not go up and the mini dish isnt yet available for purchase. There are definitely some more changes afoot.

Elon has become a continuing disappointment. I got an invitation, but not interested.

Thanks Chris! Like 286

You two are married? 😂

“That could be the reason” ?? 😂 Large geographical region that drastically underutilizes internet data demand and offer reduced hardware size/pricing and reduced monthly pricing? Ya think? 😂

I emailed them and they said no, only in central america :( I would get one in a heartbeat.

So if you already have SL, you can order a second [ROAM] Disk and they give you the choice of the Standard or Mini. The price is $499 for the Standard and $599 for the mini, and here is the kicker, Monthly Price $150. I just checked my account and noticed that ability there.

All plans seem to be cheaper if you are not in North America.

Yup supply and demand... My parents live in a EU country with pretty good LTE/5G, fiber coverage.. They are paying only 50 EUR/month for a fixed Starlink.. Also average after tax income in the US is pretty high compared to the rest of the world (even other developed countries)...

You hear the hole in the ozone layer is back, thanks to Starlink satellites burning up in the atmosphere? Good stuff.

Starlink, never fails to disappoint.

How long until Phony Stark jacks up the price for them?

Why all us citizens don't understand nothing about geography? Columbia? Really😂😂😂

Because the mini is designed for 3rd world countries

That happens to all industries in America but Americans are not informed. Nearly all new medicines are discovered in America but drugs are sold at 10x, 50x or even 100x higher in America so that Pharma companies can quickly recoup of R&D cost and make good profits. For Rest of World, it is something "good to have" extra so that they can make whatever money they can make in ROW. Drug price for same drug is 50% cheaper in EU, 90% cheaper in China, free in India (because india is allowed to copycat for free), nearly free in Egypt or similar countries. To be fair, ROW do get drugs of same molecules domestically made (not made in US or Canada).

I identify as Central American, where's my Mini?
