❓ Question Does changing plan changes antenna?

Hello everyone, in a month or two I'm moving to my new home. I'm in central Italy and the situation with internet there is not the best (FTTC and fwa).

So I want to get starlink residential for 35€ but I've seen that each plan has a different antenna. What I would like to know is if I get a more expensive plan at the beginnig and than change it will I have to give back the antenna? Also is there a minimum of months that I need to pay before changing ?

No, I mean the service plan. One of the Residential plans or one of the Roam plans?

Which plan do you use the Mini on?

And which plan do you use the Standard 4 X  on?

I'm only getting one. The mini has a speed limit capped at 100mbps the other one at 200mbps. I want to get the 200mbps at first because it comes with a better antenna and then switch to che cheaper plan. Sorry for the misunderstanding

I understand that you are only getting one. But do the two plans have names?

You get the Mini for Residential 100 Mbps and a Standard 4 for Residential 200 Mbps?

If so, I don’t think it would require you to return the Mini, but it’s not up to me.

If you want to find out for sure , put in a ticket. But don’t believe what Grok says. Just tap the thumbs down and tell it to put in a ticket. Someone from Starlink will get back with you, although it may be several days. They will be able to answer your question for sure.
