As a sailboat cruser that trades internationally. This change will make starlink next too useless after the time limit. We cross too many borders, too quickly, and spend too long away from our home zone.
We love the product. Run currently two and heading towards 4 units but the new changes will make it next too useless on the boat for most of our season when traveling.

As a live board cruiser circum navigating the globe there’s no way we can return to homeport every 30 days. Satellite Internet service has been a real blessing.

We live full time on our yacht and travel a lot between countries. Additionally we use starlink to home school our children. Having this new restriction is a real dumper to our lifestyle

Starlink is a great, albeit already expensive service for travellers. Making it more expensive and more restrictive would probably mean we have to give up on it.

This is a short sighted decision that is putting cruisers lives at risk. Honestly I’m disappointed given the mission of Starlink and Elon himself to make the world a better, safer place. I hope you consider that you’ve impacted peoples lives in a negative way by making it cost prohibitive to keep on top of weather and educate their children.

I live on a sailboat and rely on using Starlink for weather forecasts. I'm very disappointed with Starlink's decision and hope they change the policy back to what it was!

I’m a long term cruiser moving countries often so the 90 days is a problem for me.

As a sailor regularly visiting many countries in the South Pacific this will be unfeasible and will be going back to Iridium
