I am on a 5 year retirement adventure on my sailing yacht. A dream coe true and Starlink Global Roam has been amazing for allowing me to access online weather and cruising information. It gas made it all much safer. Living on board off my pension I can't afford the Global Priority prices Starlink want me to switch to and I only expect to fly home once a year. My yacht won't be home for ~5 years. Cancelling the current Global Roam with OCean mode on 17 Aug will make Starlink unaffordable for me.

Because we cruise in a boat and it doesn't fit well

It is very difficult to get internet and phone on arrival at many Pacific Islands

We feel the roam unlimited was a fair price for the amazing technology Starlink pioneered. The requirement to register in each country is an interesting proposition to resolve usage/legal issues whilst maintaining functionality for sailing Gypsies

Yachties need communication, it can be the difference between life and death.

Dear elon, plz for the love of god can you create and package for blue water cruisers that are needing internet all over the world on a fixed fee and a fixed contract, having to keep changing contracts and fees just add to the freedom that you are so passionate about the people having…. Feel free to email me and i can help you come up with a solution….

I am so grateful for the innovation that is Starlink. We lived in a home that was unable to get high-speed internet, and Starlink made running a business from home a possibility. Now, with our plan to transition to sailboat life, we are having to rethink many details—including safety, electrical setup, and business strategy. Everything is still possible, but we would definitely feel more secure knowing Starlink would be the affordable anchor to the plan.

Starlink is amazing. We had it in a remote location where there was no other option to get connected. Thank you for that! Now, we want to be able to retire to a sailboat and cruise to many remote islands and still stay connected and possibly work. We can’t do it if our budget has to include Global Roaming. Please help keep the price manageable so we can stay safely and reliably connected to the world by Starlink.

Cruising boats are slow and often jump between countries, especially between islands.

As an ocean cruiser Starlink has been reliable and easy to use.

Starlink has become an integral component to our safety and satisfaction on our cruising sailboat. Like thousands of others we are not financially capable of moving to the global roam. Even the Roam Unlimited plan was a bit pricey for us but given the amazing Starlink service we made room for it in our budget. Please do whatever you can to allow us cruisers to continue to use this system at a cost that is tolerable.

The new policy entirely defeats the purpose of Roam.
