Large flat box arrived. Found a place to temporarily set it up ( they tell me that people my age shouldn't climb ladders.... ), plugged it in and did my best Mr Bean impersonation running around with my phone looking for dots.Got it aligned, after arguing with it... "I had to point Foxtel North to Optus B!" Starlink points South... well, up really, but South Up. All good, Getting consistently double the speed, for $30 less. Efficient, this mob. Especially the billing department. No sooner had I got the thing connected to the heavens than an email arrived with my first bill.... But I think I'm going to like it. And I'll get a mini for when ( if ) I go bush.

So big news - the starlink standby mode no longer works in motion. So people with it on cars using it to make calls are out of luck. You'll need to step up to the roam plans. It can still be used while stationary though.
Roam is limited to 100mph so should be fine in the defender.

Do you have intentions of doing some off cliff driving?
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

North Head wouldn't be high enough. Maybe a C-17 Globemaster III.Do you have intentions of doing some off cliff driving?

So there is uproar in the aviation community.. heaps of private pilots were mounting starlinks in the back window and using roam plans to get all their weather and stuff while flying. Very handy I would think.
But the 160mph thing means it's not really very useful for most and they have introduced aviation plans which are quite a lot more expensive and vary by speed. For most private pilots the $250 a month is probably a bit steep.

Super ModeratorDo they differentiate between horizontal and vertical speed velocity?

Good point. It would be horizontal speed I reckon. If you could find a big enough cliff you could blog till the end.
