Remove Starlink's 90-Day Country Transfer Rule

Michael Giesler

Starlink has helped make it possible for more people to explore the world and advance boating safety. This new rule is a step backwards, putting Starlink out of reach for many sailors, which is seemingly counter to Starlink’s mission of closing the digital divide.

Every year United States boaters travel to the Bahamas. Starlink has become the communication tool of choice. It is more reliable and SIM cards and Sat Phones. Many of those boaters stay beyond thirty’s days. I did earlier this year. Starlink is forcing there boaters to choose between unreliable alternatives, or face an unreasonable price increase to keep their Starlink service. The problems caused by this plan change were either not considered or ignored by Starlink. Please correct this.

Too many worthless restrictions

I'm traveling around the world. Too far to come back, too fast to re-register

I agree with what this petition describes as it is currently my plan passage in the next few months.

Critical for live aboard world cruisers on private vessels

Surely.it would be in Starlink's interest to lift this rule so that those who travel far and wide can continue to use its services

Skip Lahti

I'm sailing around the world and rely on starlink to receive current weather forecasts, routing and other important navigational information. The Global Priority option is out of my reach financially. Please reconsider this policy.

Liveaboard life for us is traveling all over and this limits our ability to move around the ocean, effectively trapping us for 3 months at a time

I am using starlink on my sailboat and will usually not return to my home country every 30 or even 90 days

My friends safety depends on Starlink

Jeff Trowbridge

A lot of us in the sailing community are sailing to cut down on the rat race and costs of the land life, and to experience the world on a tight budget. Our house is our boat. Starlink HAD made it affordable to have great internet connectivity to reach family members, make phone calls, and even enjoy some wifi streaming. Unfortunately, their new policy will make reliable world wide internet unaffordable for thousands, and plummet us back to the dark ages.

I travel full time on a budget

The policy assumes a traveler who goes home. I have been cruising continuously for ten years without returning to the United States. My pattern is roughly two weeks in a country, then on to the next. Hopping from the BVI to St. Martin to Antigua resets nothing — the clock runs on time outside your home country, not time in any one place. Localizing doesn’t help either; you’re foreign again within a fortnight. So for full-time cruisers this isn’t a usage restriction. It’s a cutoff. WHY IT’S MORE

I travel with starlink

Peter Stevens

It makes Starlink unusable when travelling by boat for more than the 90 days

Defeats the purpose of subscribing.

We count on Starlink as an essential tool for cruising and won’t be able to afford to use it with the 90 day transfer restriction.

Francois-Xavier Bodin

I hope that Starlink operators will listen to our request.
