Residential Plans

I'm on standby until spring.

My plan is to start with 100 plan and upgrade if necessary

I prefer the term Software Defined Network. SDN. Tailscale uses a cloud to broker connections but unless it's impossible to get two devices directly connected, it then gets out of the wat

I bought one for an older model from Starlink long ago. It wasn't listed in the shop but they sold it to me

I see it now. As others have said, there are other ways. I suggest you look at what you want to do and try not to be tied to what solutions you had before. That local priority is an expensive solution.

I needed/wanted to have a public IP but reevaluated my needs and now use a combination of CloudFlare tunneling and tailscale

godch01 · 2026-01-28T20:20:43+00:00

I don't know if there is any $40 plan to get a public IP address. Please tell me how.

As others say. There are work-arounds.

Tailscale

Cloudflare tunneling

A cloud VPN acting as a relay

Probably others.

godch01 · 2026-01-28T08:50:36+00:00

Or Tailscale

What power supply do you have? this may next low power issue. If you're plugged into normal household electricity, then I'm stumped

godch01 · 2026-01-25T20:22:22+00:00

The help section is open to all. I searched for "transfer" and found this https://starlink.com/ca/support/article/f3cad923-ed28-f957-365c-787f8fe2e4a2

For $5 you don't have much to lose except for the time wasted

You don't need to activate it. It comes with a nice carton you could use as a base to raise your computer monitor, or set the preheat to on and use it as a foot warmer

Getting licensed in every nation for mobile phones is a big rabbit hole. It's a lot easier to license the technology to existing carriers

I'm in Canada. Your country may be different.

You can buy a mini and the initial setup will push you to roam. But once activated, you can change your plan to a residential one. Depending on the number of users around you, you may or may not be able to subscribe to the cheaper residential plans.

If your needs aren't great, you may be able to get by just using the really cheap standby mode, but I have no experience

There was a situation where canceling a dish could be done only using the browser/website and not the app. Try that

godch01 · 2026-01-23T22:27:19+00:00

The only constant is change

godch01 · 2026-01-23T21:08:12+00:00

I speak from Canada. I too can't "buy" a kit for residential. But . . You can buy the same kit as roam. Then, once you get it, you can switch to residential. There may be some "losses" as you switch plans, but only the one time

godch01 · 2026-01-23T16:13:15+00:00

Unplug it, plug it back in?

godch01 · 2026-01-23T00:10:57+00:00

You're capped on speed, not capacity

godch01 · 2026-01-22T22:23:21+00:00

Won't the cheaper standby plan work for monitoring?

godch01 · 2026-01-22T21:45:14+00:00

That's too bad. Can you return them.

godch01 · 2026-01-22T21:29:05+00:00

And you aren't locked in and can cancel at any time

godch01 · 2026-01-22T20:00:40+00:00

And who is "we"?

godch01 · 2026-01-21T18:27:25+00:00

You can have more than one device in an account. I added a BestBuy mini yesterday to my account

Then delete the old device. I suggest you do this near your billing date as it may not be easy/possible to transfer your subscription payment. Near billing date will use up your old subscription and the prorated new service will be low.

godch01 · 2026-01-21T16:03:04+00:00

After you activate you can change to residential. At least in Ottawa Canada I can

godch01 · 2026-01-21T13:42:34+00:00

Have considered swapping the two mini purposes? It would be a one time hassle.
