Roam subscription is £85 monthly for use anywhere in the European continent including UK. 30 day contract based on your original subscription dates. Dates will show when you tap to change plan. I've just paid £58 to roam until 8 September my renewal date. Once you've paid for Roam you can cancel auto renew immediately if you only want a short period. https://www.starlink.com/We used it at home until we got fibre to the house.
Found it vastly superior to old copper wires, not nearly as good as fibre.
What‘s the current monthly cost? … I still have my dish and wondered about using it for travelling
Yeah, we were surprised. Speed checks are great, latency checks show a very short latency. But actual loading of websites - we find fibre way faster. We ran both for a while to compare - the whole family prefer Airband fibre.Not nearly as good as fibre? You must have amazing fibre speeds because Starlink is usually faster than any domestic fibre service.
Airband fibre not exactly portable between countries though? Starlink is excellent and does as it says! Not 16gig though eh!Yeah, we were surprised.

Thanks for the info.

Is the subscription per calender month or can you stop start on specific dates eg 21 Aug - 20 Sept?Roam subscription is £85 monthly for use anywhere in the European continent including UK. 30 day contract based on your original subscription dates.

spot on, both my wife and I use Zoom (we can both be on line in conference at the same time emails and other tech stuff but unless its large files which tend to just upload /download by themselves whilst I have a coffee or doing other stuff .50Mbs is fine...also its about the server the other end one storage platform I use takes a while to upload and down load another storage provider does the same size file in half the time. So I do wonder sometimes when people get out of their tree and say they 'need' much more bandwidth........maybe they do maybe they dont.I'm currently contracting for a cable comms company. Developing the tech that'll allow them to squeeze 10Gb from an old coax connection. Virgin Media cable can already do 2.5Gb when they choose to switch it on. But in many places they're looking to install fibre to the premises, the same as Open Reach. Fttx will do 10Gb with existing kit when they choose to enable it, and much faster with upgrades.
The problem is... their research shows that there's very little demand for it. UHD 4k video needs about 30Mb. Working from home to use Zoom and email needs less than 10Mb. Most people wouldn't notice if you throttled their connection to 50Mb. The only common use seems to be things like humongous game downloads. The predicted ever increasing demand for bandwidth is really slowing. Unless home Virtual Reality happens, there aren't that many use cases.
I've had a ropey mobile connection that only gave me 8mbps down and 2mpbs up and I still managed to hold Teams calls. Wasn't ideal, but it worked.spot on, both my wife and I use Zoom (we can both be on line in conference at the same time emails and other tech stuff but unless its large files which tend to just upload /download by themselves whilst I have a coffee or doing other stuff .50Mbs is fine...also its about the server the other end one storage platform I use takes a while to upload and down load another storage provider does the same size file in half the time.

Yup there are ways of not using so much data, sometimes I down load films I may want to watch or programs from iplayer take some DVD's old fashioned free to air TV, I dont want to give the tech companies all my money, Star link looks fairly expensive if someone has a need for it then fine.I've had a ropey mobile connection that only gave me 8mbps down and 2mpbs up and I still managed to hold Teams calls.

If you've only got a small TV in the van and you don't want to eat all your monthly allowance in a few hours, it's probably enough to set your telly stream to 720p. Which also only needs less than 8mbps.
50Mb,that is the stuff of dreams here.Most people wouldn't notice if you throttled their connection to 50Mb.
Yes it is the cost per month but the month runs from the date your subscription starts. This may mean that your choice of dates runs through two subscription months.Is the subscription per calender month or can you stop start on specific dates eg 21 Aug - 20 Sept?
@Jim I have a Starlink pipe adaptor here sat in its box if that’s helpful to you.
Nobody is going to steal Starlink kit because the dish and router are registered to you. Ownership can only be transferred by you to the new owner. A good security feature.Good to know how easy it will be to get off.
Do you keep your wolf locked up at night.

Thieves are idiots who will steal anything that is not locked down and worry about damage, making money off it later. Starlink looks expensive so it will get nicked. They will only find out later it is worth nothing and dump it at the side of the road.Nobody is going to steal Starlink kit because the dish and router are registered to you.

Thought you said you had no space on the roofSorry only just seen this. I've no use for the pole. I've sikaflexed 4 small bolts to the top of my van so I just pop it up there and secure it with wingnuts. Works really well![]()
No they have restricted your use to 60 days now,"out of home state"Also I've seen the pricing, but does this work in the EU without restrictions?
there is a 'mini'Is there a starlink actually designed for the motorhome?
yes but far dearer .e the data package for the UK is the same.
Thats a load of rubbish then. no point. Might as well go with sim cards from countries that we visit.No they have restricted your use to 60 days now,"out of home state"
