It is an almost perfect service - however, making is unreasonably expensive will restrict the service to Comercial only use...

Our Starlink is connected to our luveaboard sailboat and it doesn't move fast enough for us to return to Canada this often!

When we start with starlink, the Region we booked was called north america, which includes all caribean beside Columbia. Then it was changed to a global travel with restriction, that Starlink can force you to change country if you stay with a "Low cost" contract in a "high cost" country fair enough. Now caribean is splitted in individual countries, where I need to Go Back to my home country every 30 days. This is not possible. So either kindly ask to skip the 90 days country change or old region

A significant safety and communications concern for small cruising sailors

The strlonk is vital for sailors and we know many who are not big operators but who rely on styling for safety and communications with home and sometimes for work. The affordable solution was critical for this purpose. Please restore it

It’s important because Starlink is our only reliable link for weather, navigation updates, my work, calling home and getting help in an emergency

We are live-aboard sailors on the yacht Cape Petrel, sailing Malaysia, Indonesia, PNG and the South Pacific, working remotely with several crew aboard. Roam was the only plan that worked for us. The 30-day limit and 90-day transfer lock make no sense for cruisers, who must move on when their 30-day visas expire, and the 50Gb priority plan gets burned through too quickly. Starlink has made our lifestyle possible, but these new plan structures are a big problem for us.

Starlink is essential to stay connected with our friends and family while traveling around the world with our sailing boat

I am starting a circumnavigation and had planned on using my mini for internet access. Tried to upgrade my plan to roam unlimited to at least get off shore data but can't even do that due to "capacity" whatever that means. Maritime plans are unavailable for the mini so can't even switch to that. Starlink has totally messed up my plans.

starlink is no longer usable for me - much too expensive

I'd like Starlink to reconsider global roaming options for cruisers, remote digital nomads and the wider sailing community. The 90-day restriction makes Starlink prohibitively expensive for those travelling between countries, sometimes staying only a few days. Many cruisers don't have unlimited funds, and this can turn an essential service into a luxury.

Karibik must be one Region at least. The islands are too close together. Otherwise all sailors need to have 4 dishes and four contracts or will quitt and use Digicell Sim, which delivers unlimited data for Euro 29,90 a month.

The reduction of the 90 day transfer limit is the only way to make Starlink an affordable way to access Internet for those of us who cruise between different countries. It’s an arbitrary limit that exists only to make more money for the company with no customer benefit.

We use Starlink on board our boat for weather reports and position reports. In other words, to increase safety.

Want to see Starlink reconsider their options for global roaming given the sailboat cruising community. Safety improvements are the biggest thing that will be lost through this change.
