I work from my boat and we go when the weather dictates. The 90 day rule makes it impossible to work and stay safe

Starlink has become an integral part of planning and undertaking safe passages at sea. Given its virtual service monopoly, and while acknowledging that it exists to make a profit, Starlink should recognise that it has a responsibility to provide fair and reasonable access to the cruising community.

This 90 day change makes it very difficult for sailors who frequently change countries. For sure people are reviewing the justification for subscribing to Starlink because of it.

I'm alone on a sailboat. The $100 a month is already a big burden. I'm constantly sailing through other countries along the way. Starlink makes me feel safer, but the price is a burden. I'd have to cancel my subscription if the price went up.

As full time living aboard of sailing vessel family Starlink was a great safety feature to have reliable internet to get weather updates, goverment or emergency services alerts in open sea.

Starlink hat durch seine Technik das Leben eines Seglers auf den Ozeann erheblich sicherer und auch komfortabler gemacht.
Mit der neuen Tarifgestaltung hat der durchschnittliche Segler vermutlich keinen Zugang mehr zu dieser Errungenschaft.

As a full time live aboard internet abroad keeps us safe with weather prediction apps to medical care when in the islands, to homeschooling my two young girls. Starlink has to stay accessible to us. We are not rich with unlimited resources and anchorages I roam are filled with families like ours, digital nomads, etc. who travel from port to port. Please reconsider. Please.

Remove the 90-day country transfer restriction and allow customers to localize their account whenever they move to a new country. Boats are for exploring and this policy change is strictly a cash grab and not a technical consideration.

We are a family of 6, traveling the world on a sailboat. I use starlink for my kids school and my oldest uses it to join online camps and programs for a future career. It will probably completely change our lives to lose easy internet access. We will likely have to sell our boat and move back to land. No more world education for my kids.

because it is important and a vital network for thousands of full time liveaboard cruisers and cruisers working at sea from any location worldwide. We need a separate tariff option if possible and not the restrictive rules that will essentially prevent us using the service at all.
