I’m a live aboard cruiser and the world is our home. Countries are only administrative borders. Let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot, let’s not make things harder for our own sake. Let’s make life simpler.

We used starlink through Mexico, French Poly, Tonga and Fiji, including any ocean crossing and several 7+ day passages. It was vital for weather info and security. We could not afford it on a cruisers budget with the new restrictions and fee plan.

Remove the 90 days or keep it as it was

Our retirement plan is to sail globally for many years. This change will make the cost of staying connected to our families prohibitive.

This change makes the product unusable to me.

We are cruising, currently in the Caribbean, and we might sometimes go to several different countries in one month. We would be happy to localise the account to the new country we are in, but sadly the conflicting rules prevent this from happening.

We sail the Caribbean and change island (=country) every month or so. Thd 90 day rule does not allow to localize my account every 30 days as required. We cannot afford the high cost Priority plan. Thank you for considering this. Better still would be to continue to turn a blind eye to the 60 day away from home rule! Thank you.

we need to update our location as we sail from country to country which is within 30 days so the 90 day rule is stopping us from doing that

The change of policy is forcing us to change our roam unlimited plan to a Global Priority plan. For a monthly equivalent data usage the price increase will be of 400%. When we originally signed in the home roaming was including Australia, Zealand and most of the Pacific Islands ( Oceania Continent ). How can a change like this can affect existing plans.....!

Starlink has been an amazing service but a little more flexibility to reflect how people use it will make it practical as well.

Starlink should remove this requirement to make Starlink usage affordable for Sailboat Cruisers in the Caribbean.

Starlink is an essential part of our safety plan. It saved our bacon before.
