how does everything work

To use the Starlink service in a mobile home, the user needs to make a standard home connection that connects to a fixed address. It is worth noting that the service will cost an additional $ 25.

Also, when using satellite Internet outside the home, the user will be deprived of priority of service, which can make communication less stable and faster if the user is in one of the high-load areas of the company’s satellite network.

It is also stated that using Starlink while driving will not work, and the antenna itself is too large to be installed on top of the car. It will need to be placed on the roof of the van during parking and cleaned during movement.

Cost of Starlink kit

In the United States, a set of equipment costs $599 and a monthly fee of $110 to connect to the Starlink network. With the additional service for “mobile users”, the price will be $135. However, the ability to connect to the Internet via the Starlink network can be useful when there are no other options, such as traveling to remote areas.
