I am a boat owner and Starlknk user. A 90days limit makes SL useless

I am sailing around the world, which has its own challenges. It is impractical to comply with the new StarLink rules when sailing from country to country. We are on a tight budget and Global Priority pricing is out of our reach. You would think an innovative company like StarLink could simplify the account options based on use instead of location.

We cruise in our sailboat the South Pacific, starlink is very veluable to us however the change in roaming packages mean we can no longer afford it.

These changes will make Starlink service prohibitively expensive for those without a "home country".

As a person who lives aboard my sailboat, while traveling internationally at all times, it will cause serious disruption and safety issues (charting, navigation, etc) for myself and my community of cruisers.

Tendría que volver a tarjeta sim o dejar suspendido el servicio starlink, no tiene sentido para mí pagar el oceanico viviendo a bordo, en realidad creo q es una estrategia en la q Saldrían perdiendo por lo q leo en comentarios, pero si lo hacen, perderemos todos

We are constantly move from country to country as we circumnavigate on a tight budget. Starlink has made this a lot safer and with more reliable internet access. We can not afford to change to global roaming so would have to opt out of something we have come to rely on.

Cruising in the South Pacific and it is unreasonable to change base country every time I travel between islands

Cruisers that sail into multiple countries have to change their home address, but there is no address for them to use. We don't sail in the far reaches of blue water so we don't need to pay the horrific price for ocean travel.

So with all the Island Nations in the Carribean chain being 30-60 miles from each other, this is not well thought out by Starlink staff, unless of course they are purely focused on the island hopping 2% mega-yachts, which are likely on the top tier plan anyway. This will unfortunately lock out the "shoe string syndicate" young sailors chasing a dream, through the "let's escape" fixed income retirees that were the early adopters of Starlink.

I'm a sailor. Starlink has become vital for us. I wish it would never have to be localized anywhere. Make it as international as the sky in which it's satellites are flying and for a reasonable price.

Starling is a key safety tool for cruisers crossing oceans. It has taken over the need for expwnsive sat phone etc. Please revert back from this policy or create something specifically for cruisers!
