Feels like a Grok reply. Tbh
What are you on about???
Your post reads like you took it off Grok which a quick Google would tell you it's an LLM developed by Elon Musks Twitter team.

anydbody have any experience of using the mini (roam) for a mobile home or a holiday. Curious if you can stop start the contract as to when suits.
My recollection was correct - you had more than skepticism. Not only did you state that Starlink was "a long term project specifically for driverless vehicles" you emphatically rejected Starlink as a stopgap or infill solution for NBI. This was one of many, less than enthusiastic, posts:
"No, enough trying to shill a sub par service in comparison to fibre. No such thing as a stop gap. Serious lack of ambition in this country from the usual suspects."Thread: National Broadband Plan or Starlink, page 2.
Have a nice day.
What's changed ? It's not an alternative for fibre. Never has been never will be. You must have been one of the shills for it back then rather than the ambitious approach the government rightly took.
Starlink still remains a dangerous tool for that man. He turns it off at will as can be seen in Ukraine. It's shown some fairly dubious use connecting election machines in the US. And I haven't changed my stance that the systems intention was as a backbone for teslas driver less vehicles approach. You clearly don't comprehend the costs behind connecting vehicles via telecoms across the globe.
You haven't provided any gotchas here friend. You still want starlink over fibre is it?..... banana's.
I'm not sure about the mini device, but you can start/stop the normal residential service anytime you want … you just pay for a month worth of service.
thanks a mill
Got Starlink as a backup to the Fibre after the recent storm had me out for 5 weeks.
For anyone who's thinking of getting it and wants to mount it on a gable. I bought a simple pole arrangement from local electrical supplier and 3D printed a really solid pole mount adapter. It's solid and getting ~200-350mb downloads on it.
Fibre is back on now though so it's idle now until needed!
Link to the recommended 3D print is below for anyone who has access or knows someone who could print it! Use UV resistant plastic (PETG).

Hi, if anyone wants to buy a 3D printed pole adapter or a metal one see here

Its for the standard Gen 3 dish.
I also have a full range of different size brackets for wall mounting with different size facias.
Any queries get in touch

Recently upgraded to SkyQ. I have the main box and a mini hardwired to a switch which then connects to the Starlink router via the ethernet adapter.
It's working well and was quite simple to set up, but strangely the main box and mini are showing up twice when I look at the Starlink app to see which devices are connected.
Anyone know why that's happening?
Gen 3 generic cables 50% off on Amazon.co.uk might be useful for someone? 15, 23, 30 and 46m 50% off.

Now that I have NBI via Digiweb, I powered off my Starlink last night and ceased the contract, which terminates on the 6th April.
I'm going to keep it installed, just in case the fibre ever gets taken out in a storm or somesuch. I was generally very happy with Starlink over the last three years, but now that I have 1Gbps/100Mbps, I'm noticing pages loading a tad more quickly and that upload is definitely making my cloud syncs a hell of a lot faster! 🧐
Lovely job, same plan as myself. Looking forward to improved latency. Who'd you go with ?
Are you bringing the dish indoors or leaving out?
Personally mines installed to a pole aloft the chimney stack and wired down through the roof. It'll be remaining there. It's designed for purpose .
Had my first Zoom session this evening on it. The latency didn't flicker at all. It would be fairly variable on Starlink. I went with Digiweb.
I hadn't actually given that much thought. It has to stay outdoors, as it's a Gen1, so the cable is hard wired from the dish, into the house. I suppose I could take it down from the flat roof onto the ground behind the shed it's on. I could cover it with an old bin to shelter it completely from the elements then.
I was thinking of just bringing the dish (gen2) indoors and leaving the pole mount, adaptor & cable in place. It's very easy to get the ladder out and attach everything back up if needed.
Mine didn't budge during the big storms, but my friends gen3 dish snapped off and smashed during Eowyn. It just seems like a risk to leave it out over winter when it's not being used.
The gen 3 dishes are cheap construction in comparison to the gen 2. They're night and day. Gen 2 next to no risk providing the mount is mounted correctly.
anyone know if you can have 2 separate billing details on 2 different starlinks. On the same Starlink account. Or am I better off setting up 2 separate accounts
have Starlink as a business expense working from home. Looking to setup a second at my mobile home under personal expense.
First world problems I know
They have a mobile solution for this. It was cheaper for the second dish earlier this year I got emails off them asking to add a second dish for mobile application such as camper or holiday. I'd say check that out first on your account via Web browser see what additions you can put on
I didn't need it so ignored it.
thank you
rural location, I’m getting 40mbps with current supplier but it’s not good enough for my work .. I think internet quality is something other than speed. My parents are getting like 260mbps with Vodafone but that or sky no good where I live.. is the starlink the job?! Advice please
Yes.
Fibre is the best but Starlink will come second followed by 4G/5G imo.
What's your NBP status?
Residential Lite gone? New offer of free kit with the 50 euro plan isn’t bad though.
Looks like €35 plan is gone alright. As you say the free kit is a nice option which locks subscribers in for 12 months and probably a good move on Starlink's behalf as the NBI fibre rollout moves along at pace.
The free kit with the €35 would've tempted me but I'll hold off for fibre later this year.
better off because if you cancel early you are liable for the €349 fee or a % based on what’s left in the 12 month term
Exactly. The fibre is on the pole in front of the house, just waiting for the DP to be installed. No point locking myself into a 12 months contract at this point.
Fibre is on the pole in front of our house but I won't be surprised if we have another 12 months wait. Although NBI site now says July 2025 - September 2025
