    The residential plan is 139 a month. Probably NBN cheaper.

    I don't think you can move the dish on that plan.

    So roam is $80 for 100gb, or 195 unlimited.

    Once you have a starlink they ask for $9 a month for standby.

    Not sure how your “congestion” is over there - if it’s high SL will want to charge more.

    For a normal home account there are 3 tiers:

    Std home 100Mbps
    Plus 200Mbps
    Max - open

    The max is $139/mth
    Plus $99/mth
    Std $69/mth

    For most people the Std will do, if you have LOTs of devices and stream on several simultaneously then Plus is suitable.

    At the moment they will give you a mini as well so you can have a roaming set up.

    Where I am I can only get the Residential Max plan, with the $234 surcharge. This includes a free mini but not a plan to go with it. It’s a good plan but more than I can really afford. I can’t get the $69 plan which would be perfect for me for now. But the prices keep coming down. Maybe.

    So I learnt something new. There are different plans for MINI/normal. Actually maybe I knew that but either way.

    How does it work if you have just one dish? Like a home one but what if you travel sometimes?

    Yesterday at my place my son's fancy folding mobile phone on a Telstra a/c switched to satellite when it couldn't get reception.

    You have to swap it over on the app to go mobile.

    It’s much easier to get a second unit

    Even that on its own is an amazing leap in technology when you think about it.

    Can you ask him how he's doing it for us? AFAIK it's text only.

    Telstra Satellite Messaging lets eligible customers send and receive text messages from their compatible mobile phone via satellite when beyond the range of our mobile network.
    Satellite texting and satellite messages now available from Telstra
