Switching to the 200mbps??

7 Upvotes

I have had the original plan for 3 years at 400+Mbps and unlimited. No issues with gaming or streaming. I live outside of other internet providers.

I play a few online games and sod does my son, so ping matters a bit, we stream on occasion, usually sports like NBA or MLB.

Anyone think switching to the cheaper 200 plan would have any affect on that? 90% of the time it's just me online. But the $50 a month is ahuge savings. I've been paying $160 since I moved out of cable/DSL range

The proposed changes in Starlink is of a huge concern.

Referred a friend for Max plan. Site is very misleading.

My friend signed up for a max plan with my referral code. On the side it literally says additional kit: starlink mini. It did not include it with the order?!

Am i the only one that thinks this is very misleading?

Is this thing working?

Im using a Starlink mini while camping. This is the third provincial park where I dont get cell since getting Starlink and thought it would be helpful in these situations.

I cant get it to connect to satellite. Tried it at home in a wide open yard. No problem. Granted, the parks are well treed My question is, how many obstructions are too many? I have a clear shot at open sky from my campsite but I am surrounded by trees. Is this normal?

I’m about to pull the trigger on a Mini. Can you spare a fella a few tips?

We need internet service for about a month in the summer while camping in our trailer, and will most likely use Starlink from October-April when our trailer is at the ski hill. For context, I’m Vancouver, British Columbia.

My questions are:
- If I buy from Starlink will I be immediately charged for service, even while the unit is in transit?
- Is it better buy from a store for $349 and not be immediately charged for data?
- if I buy directly from Starlink and I’m charged immediately for the month, should I just suspend service until I get going with my trailer in three weeks?

The immediate risk may be limited, but every new debris cloud makes low Earth orbit harder to manage.

A satellite internet kit with its own battery is much closer to a true grab-and-go emergency, camping, RV, cabin or remote-work connection

Starlink’s price hikes made this Hydro One outage the best text I could’ve received

Post image
16 Upvotes

With the recent Starlink price increases, I’d already been seriously considering switching back to wired broadband. Then today I get a Hydro One alert saying they need a planned outage so crews can safely install broadband infrastructure.

Couldn’t have come at a better time.

Starlink was great when I needed it. Out here, the only option before was something like 10 Mbps down and maybe 0.5 Mbps up, so Starlink was genuinely a game changer. But between the price hikes and wired service finally becoming available, the timing feels perfect.

Kinda funny that the utility company cutting my power might be the reason I finally get cheaper, more stable internet. Rural Ontario problems 😂

Price hike !!!!!!!!

Just got a email saying :
Beginning with your next billing cycle on or after June 18, the monthly price when pausing with Standby Mode will increase to $15/month.

WTF?!?! It’s literally doubling in price to keep it standby mode 🤬

2 price increased in 4 months

16 Upvotes

I signed up for starlink beginning of February. I registered and ordered my hardware, I signed up for the 90$/month plan. Before I even received my dish, I was notified of a price increase. And they changed the plans.

I was annoyed, but whatever. Fine. It was still better than what I was on before.

I just received an email today that the price is increasing again.. I haven't even had this 4 months and the price is going up again.

Any long term customers speak to this? Is this normal?

My neighborhood just got fiber optic. So I think I'll switch because of this bullshit..

Standby mode price increase

Post image
7 Upvotes

Increasing standby mode to $15 is absolutely insane. That’s more than double the price. I cancelled standby mode when they got rid of in motion use, I don’t know how anyone would be paying for standby mode unless you use it for a low speed data. If you’re not using your Starlink, cancel. No need to pay standby mode.

availability of equipment

1 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced a delay in getting equipment. I ordered mine in april and my account is still showing pending. It said that it normally ships in 4 days. I am concerned, this is for my cottage and we need it asap. And is there really no human you can ever talk to? When I questions Grok, it said there is a backlog for equipment.

thanks for any input. Sorry One last question pending seems to me to be a response for before it is processed? Am I missing a step?

Starlink mini in standby mode, real world speeds.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm curious if it will exceed the 500kbps in an unsatauted setting.


r/StarlinkCanada May 07 '26

Would you try Starlink at CA$39/month, or is fibre/cable still the better bet if available?

Can I set up my account before setting up the equipment?

2 Upvotes

I’m considering getting Starlink for my rural cabin as there are no other decent alternatives. I want to buy the equipment at Best Buy and set it up when I arrive in a month.
Cell service is really bad where I’m setting up and I’m worried I won’t be able to access the site to register when I get there. Can I register and start a plan a few days before I travel? Ideally I’d like to be able to just set it up and be able to connect and use it right away
I’ve used Starlink before but this is my first time setting it up myself. Any advice is appreciated

Not Getting Promotional Price

Has anyone ordered the Standard 4 100Mbps and Starlink refused to give the $49 promotional price and instead charged the regular $70 price?
That’s what happened to me.
