I presume you are in a contract with them. If so, they can't increase the price for you
Got my invoice ... still €99 and no mention of any price increase on it.
SpaceX has released a searchable map showing #Starlink availability. Indicates service is immediately available throughout Ireland and most Western Europe except Scandinavia.

LOL the idea that they can rival a company thats already launching its own satellites is hilarious. Also Ganleys a douche.
I don’t think so the 4g system, wired through the what was originally setup for starlink has no issues
I think the biggest problem he had was wife a child constantly ringing him saying WiFi is down. 🤷♂️
I don't use the Starlink Wi-Fi, instead having it wired into my pfSense and then using my own WLAN. But I have to wonder does your brother have other problems if such brief outages are causing everything to disconnect.
I do occasionally look at the stats on my Starlink app and might see a number of 2-4 second outages for network issues, signal loss, etc. but nothing that I had noticed. I certainly have never needed to reconnect anything after these outages.
I don’t think so. He has switch to a 4g provider and since the house was wired for starlink the current system works perfectly.
he used it for business and the issue where intolerable, a thing either works or doesn’t I suppose.
Seems a bit mad to replace the provider if the router is the issue? Did he try using a different non-starlink router? I've never used the starlink one and think I've only had one outage of a couple of hours since I got it in October.
My bother got starlink back in January. Speeds where great all was well then the router/receiver kept disconnecting only for about .02 of a second but the problem was the tvs and everything else needed to be manually reconnected to the WiFi. This happened 7/8 times a day, starlink did send him a new router for free still same in the end he canceled the contract.
I'm due to get my next invoice in a few days. I'll let ye know then.
I think it’s still 99€. That’s what it said on the website today when I checked
Yeah. I've not heard anything from Starlink yet on an increase.
According to this tweet, while the supply of it has gone up considerably, the monthly seems to have only increased by €1 ... although that may be a typo and it should be €110. 😥

I haven't received any notification email from Starlink yet that the monthly charge is increasing.
Is that monthly price increase for new customers only? I haven't received any notification yet. My hope was that those monthly prices would drop slightly in time. Inflation doesnt warrant an 11% increase. No one is going to see an 11% salary increase thats for sure.
As big an improvement Starlink has been for me gone from DSL speeds of (10Mb down/1.5Mb up) to (200Mb+ / 30Mb Down), 99 euro a month is already extortionate. Its still mad to think there are advocates on here and in Irish media saying Starlink is a better option the Fibre too.
I honestly cannot wait for the day FTTH is available to me. More than 50% cheaper and overall a far better service. 2026 with the NBI though.
Just checked there to order and see what it said.
works out at 709€ delivered and still at the 99€ per month by the looks of it . But is that to go up even tho the delivery has already?
Been using Starlink for just over six months now and I am mostly satisfied but I am a little bit annoyed over that price increase I must say.
Yeah, my friend also signed up for Starlink.
Buffering issue on Facebook and Instagram also looks to be fixed since a few weeks back.
Just so Starlink users know, the geo issue with TuneIn has now been resolved, so it works OK again.
Mine is lying flat on the ground on a carpet, which is on a solid concrete floor. I just checked it there and while the power supply is slightly warm, I wouldn't think it is in anyway dangerous.
Move it to a location (maybe propped up) to allow free airflow around it should be enough
So ive been having a concern with the heat the power supply generates as its currently sat inside a wooden cabinet, I probably can move it so its out of the cabinet but it will still be sat on top of it. Has anyone come up with solutions for this? Im considering buying some heat sinks to stick on it.
It's official ... Dishy does not like hail ... Each of these outages today came at the same time there was a heavy hail shower.
I wonder if I turned on the heater, might that help.
Could be due to high winds at the Cork base station too
Mine is having multiple outages at the same times as yours is. Last time this happened I think there was something wrong with their ground infrastructure in England that was causing the outages.
Starlink is having a bit of a conniption here this morning. Winds are not too bad, some gusts up around 45KMh, but average of around 13KMh. Few light showers of rain, but the Slieve Felims are shielding my house from the worst of Storm Eunice. I'm doing this on Mobile data.
