@@texasroots yeah the variable pricing on the hardware globally is significant! Monthly plan as well. I'm paying about 50% less for regional roam here in South America than the US.
@@freelyroaming Next dumb question, do you know if you can even get the residential plan with the Mini dish in the United States?? When I log into Starlink, the residential option is "Greyed" out, so I don't know if I can even add another residential plan at my same address??
The one issue that is now holding me back from getting into Starlink is the uncertainty around the roam plan - it seems that it only works for max 2 months away from your home country. Is this really correct??? I live in Spain, but travel for many months at a time around Europe - is it correct that the Roam plan is suspended after 2 months away from your registered home country??? Thanks for advice on this issue.
@@CG-99 it's not enforced everywhere. I would think it wouldn't be enforced in Europe either because prices all across Europe are the same. This is more specifically aimed at people from the US using a Mexican dish there and paying 50% less. Worse case scenario if they choose to enforce the rule everywhere, you just set up a new account in a few countries and move the hardware around those accounts. I've used a Colombian account for 6 months across 5 countries without problems.
@ when you pause the service after initial activation , you get charged to re activate Starlink . They call it a pro- rated cost to do it on my Gen 2 they were charging 80$ and up to reactivate. Which is more then the 50$ bundle costs for the month is my concern
Ive never seen that charge. When I activate, I get the prorated fee until the end of that billing cycle. When I pause, it just tells me it is scheduled to pause when my billing period ends. No additional fee.
@ it doesn’t charge me to pause and yes it goes to the end of the billing cycle . But when you want to fire it back up months later, they charge an “re-activation fee” ( or else they did, maybe not anymore? ) also maybe it’s different in Canada?
@@ClarkyMalarky no I've never been charged a 'reactivation' fee but I've never had a Canadian account. I've had accounts in 5 different countries in the Americas and none of them have it. Perhaps it's because you are on the residential plan where pausing is not included.

Great comparison video. The view from your air B and B deck was very appealing. Thank you for a lot of helpful information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review thanks. I have a Mini on order which I intend to use at home and take with us in our camper. Some useful information on set up too. 👍
Same here. My mini is ordered for camping. I am interested in an affordable case for protection and a power supply.
Great comparison! If you are a veteran, Home Depot will apply additional 10% off to Starlink price.
Good to know! Just the dish price or service as well?
Awesome info mate cheers for the video
Happy to see you brother after long time always beautiful informative videos wish you good health and good luck 👍
Best regards from Philippines 🇵🇭☕☕☕
Thank you! It's nice to have you back too.
Great video, really informative!
@@mapleleafdrifters thanks friend!
Thanks for the global comparison. I had no idea they cost less in other countries. I was happy to see the USA price drop for BFriday.

10:17 Will the mini work with a 48 volt LiFePo4 battery which is actually 51.2 volts DC??
It might work but it is definitely outside of its specified range. I would not risk it.

@dannydivine7699 I think you can after it's activated. At least in my account here in South America it is available.

@@CG-99 they have updated the roam w details so I did move forward w purchase as I would suggest
You can travel out of country for two months if over they force supposedly to change home address to new address.
Canada also just got them Tuesday! 399$ cdn and or 20$ usd 😂😂😂 ( Trump tariffs hitting our dollar hard)
😂😂😂
lmao
Anyone know what the activation fee is for unpausing the mini? That’s the kick for the “pause anytime”
No fee to pause. You are just paid thru the month and stays active until then.

can i buy it in canada, and bring it home to the US? its half price in canada.. lmao
@@pures1n hardware isn't sold by itself. You will need to activate it on a Canadian account first. After that you are fine to bring it to the US.
@@freelyroaming ahh alright, i guess i'll order, activate in canada, then bring it to america
Just like buying medication in the US vs other countries 😠
