Okay, but the top comment as I’m writing this is someone saying they have already been using the standard service, in a mobile fashion, mounted to the top of their van.

So my question to Starlink would be, what’s the difference? If I want to get an RV and work remotely using Starlink, why wouldn’t I just get the standard service, and avoid these restrictions on the RV service? I suppose the more flexible monthly billing & the ability to pause service on demand are the killer features?

The language of that TOS is quite concerning to someone thinking of using this in a professional setting.



Presumably the standard Starlink service will be restricted to your registered address, or will switch to the de-prioritized RV mode when outside your registered service area.

People talking about using it while roaming currently also say they are switching their service address in their account for each new location.

I’m not sure how it ties in with roaming capability but they do have a Business offering for those needing higher reliability and allocated bandwidth.
