I live on a sailboat, traveling around the globe.
Starlink has made my life easier and safer by providing access to weather information and entertainment.

This service is a safety measure and if it is unaffordable lives will be lost ! I understand that there is crazy money to be made by starlink and its owners but for what cost ?

We are cruising on our boat from Australia. It is impossible to be able to return to our country every 90 days. We need starlink for weather routing, safety, work etc

Starlink was supposed to bring the internet to everyone no matter where in the world they are located. With current marketing policies it is failing to do that unless you are super wealthy.

Living on a sail boat full time and constantly changing countries - internet in the most remote areas of the world is important to us.

For most cruisers worki ng remotely while sailing to various countries within a year and spending over 30 days in each country these new rules make it very difficult to manage

As a full-time liveaboard Starlink is essential for us to receive weather updates, maintain contact with the homefront and our safety in general. The new Global priority plan is simply too expensive for us and we would sadly have to revert to “last century” communications should Starlink impose this tariff on us full time cruisers.

A full time sailing lifestyle where moving around is very slow so cannot return home. Important for safety, communication with family and anuthorities, and weather updates. The ocean mode toggle was great on Unlimited roam plan. The new rates are beyond my budget, coupled with a low data limit. We will be stopping using Starlink and use other means on land. Will feel blind crossing oceans without weather updates, and cannot send arrival notification emails and paperwork to the next country.

It is not only for the fun stuf, but most important to keep track of the weather, and get in contact with a doctor if an injury happens in the middle of the ocean.

It's game changer technology that is a boon to safety and connectivity. Just what Elon said at its launch.. please don't scale it back for those who really need it!

We live on a boat and travel. In the Caribbean almost every island is a different country and we may spend only a few days there before moving on to the next stop. The 90 day rule would severely limit our travel.

The access to Internet for safety reasons has become a game changer for many offshore cruisers. While it isn't the only option for safety, it certainly is a reassuring one!
