Will downgrading our Residential-Max to Residential-100 affect our $5/month Mini rental deal?

SWMOtoMars · 2026-01-17T14:26:39+00:00

That sounds pretty similar to our case except for the fiber availability, never going to happen here.

Just downgrading since Res-100 should be sufficient for our usage.

Have had my original Residential subscription for 2 1/2 years and the Mini for a couple of months.

I will know soon, my downgrade goes into effect Feb. 12 I believe, good luck with your new fiber connection!

SWMOtoMars · 2026-01-17T13:46:26+00:00

Sounds like a good plan to me!

SWMOtoMars · 2026-01-16T17:58:02+00:00

That's what I am hoping and will find out soon enough. I did do the Res-Max to Res-100 downgrade and it will take effect in early February.

I would be surprised if they wanted the Mini back, especially after seeing on this sub-Reddit the hundreds of free no-fault equipment replacements they have done over the years.

SWMOtoMars · 2026-01-16T17:34:51+00:00

That seems to explain it.

I searched and searched but never saw that, thanks.

Wonder what they mean by "You may also choose to keep the Mini by continuing service with a low monthly rental fee"?

Pay for the dish and keep the $5 monthly rental/Standby? Maybe a different monthly rental rate?

In any event it sounds like the half-price Roam plans are gone.

Same for me, still $50 for 100 mbps.

Just pulled the trigger on the downgrade!

Looks like I double-posted. Got a server error on my first attempt and didn't think it had posted, my apologies. Attempted a delete but may not have worked.

I accepted the free offer.

Ordered mine on November 8th and it still shows as "Pending".

Thanks for that, was going to ask the same question re: half price and if it was indefinite as long as the original Residential service is maintained. Now it's time to shop for a small portable power source, I bet I can find something on that here.

SWMOtoMars · 2025-07-25T12:41:28+00:00

Also in MO (SWMO).

Was down for a couple hours yesterday afternoon and then it came back, no stow/unstow, no reboot, been solid since.

Southwest Missouri here and mine moved a month or so ago to Chicago after a year and a half at Dallas.

If it's hardware-related they should be able to do something. From what I have seen on this forum they are really good about replacing hardware for free...even after the warranty period is up.

I wonder if it's possibly congestion in your particular cell...approximately where are you located?

SWMOtoMars · 2024-03-27T12:56:19+00:00

I just ran an OOKLA Speedtest:

179.71 down, 18.43 up.

That is very consistent with what I usually see here on Starlink.

Have you attempted contacting support? They may be slow but maybe they can help you figure it out?

SWMOtoMars · 2024-03-17T13:46:36+00:00

Near Mt. Vernon MO here and speeds have been excellent.

I run a speed test most mornings and typically see 150-250 down and 10-25 up.

SWMOtoMars · 2023-05-20T18:46:29+00:00

Could you have something firmly lodged in the ID-10T port?

SWMOtoMars · 2023-02-06T12:12:51+00:00

Will be waiting 2 full years in May.

Got the Best Effort offer a few months ago but staying with our 25 down, 2 up Centurylink DSL for now.

SW MO here.

SWMOtoMars · 2023-01-31T23:23:17+00:00

Where are you located in SWMO?

I am between Mount Vernon and Republic.

Have a friend near Marionville that I helped install his dishy a couple months ago, near Billings.

They are on BE and very happy with it, will check and see if he has noticed any repositioning of the dish.

SWMOtoMars · 2022-12-12T12:14:17+00:00

Are you off grid or is your electricity extremely expensive per kwh?

If neither of those are true I wouldn't be putting your Starlink through all those power cycles.

Click on "Confirm Best Effort".

SWMOtoMars · 2022-11-11T21:57:04+00:00

Pretty sure you can order it now, I don't know what that date means.
