    I expect its likely working in the northern part of Australia for RV, just not for Residential until its fully deployed, especially if laser linked satellites are flying overhead , tprobably waiting to hook more ground stations up, the ground station beams internet to the sat then down to you , laser linked satellites will relay internet from another , is how aircraft flying over sea works.

    if you look at the map you see Ukraine is on the wait list, but its obviously working there as Elon has given them thousands of dishes.

    I am definitely on the fence about this one. For one, I hate all those birds flying over ruining the night sky... but that is a rant for a different time I Guess.

    The price is what gets me the most. It is pretty expensive and although you can pay per month of use, I would still need to drag that entire kit along. Anyone know how much it weighs? It is good to know that it is an option, but I'd rather be off grid when I go bush Still, when I need to do some work whilst traveling, this could be an alternative to buying a cell card with data everywhere...

    I guess I'll need to start following this a bit closer.

    Cheers,

    I believe (though do not know with 100% certainty) that the current RV dishes will work and enjoy the benefits of the 2.0 upgrades when they come online. At the moment the 2.0 upgrades are delayed due to launch window and payload availabilities.

    We got Starlink several months ago and LOVE it. Think the roaming option is fab really. We don't use that function.
    All we could get at home before was mobile broadband that cost a fortune for limited gb, was extremely slow and would drop out constantly. Other satellite options were even more expensive and silly with limits, on/off peak

    Enter Starlink. Isn't much more per month, unlimited and so fast!!! Don't know ourselves now! Everyone can stream at once, game! It's absolutely brilliant All things STARLINK

    Starlink have now allowed existing equipment to be migrated to RV account.

    So I have switched my old round dish onto the RV setup, and paused the subscription (which you can not do with a residential account). Will resume again when next we set off on an outback trip. This makes Starlink almost economical .

    When Starlink2 and the top half of AUS are both a GO,, we might pull the pin on this...

    Perhaps I will make use of starlink, perhaps not. I intend to test it out this summer.

    In any case, this youtuber has some pretty hard facts that don't add up soooo yeah. For your consideration:

    Thanks for that,, but I simply dont care. If the whole house of cards that this vid alludes to only lasts 5 years so what? Thats 5 years of good internet in my van all over Oz.. by then the Oz government might wake up and put a decent geo stationary satellite up over us.

    I didn't watch the video but also don't care, It works better than anything else. Any technology we have now will be obsolete in 5 years, By then Starlink constellation will be fully deployed and antennas will continue to get smaller , could well have hand even have held phones.
