Starlink has been great as we don't need to carry extra SIMS and always have good coverage. It would be a shame to have to go back the the SIM card method.

I sail full time and cross countries every month, so the 30 days out of the register address with the 90 days to change the country is not workable for me.

Having Starlink is a safety issue for me as a cruising sailor; a cost of $500 a month plus data is significantly outside of the budget.

I travel between island countries in the Caribbean and this policy increases my costs by a factor of 5, putting Starlink usage out of range for my budget.

I purchased the starlink mini 12 months ago to use on my liveaboard sail boat. The price increase will mean I will have to cancel the service. I have used the starlink for about 8 month now and love the freedom it gives me. Please allow a subscription that will allow us to move countries that is not expensive.

Our home port is Mexico. When we sail our small boat (not a yacht with paid crew owned by a corporation or mega-millionaire) around the globe it will be cost prohibitive to use Starlink. Please find a solution for those that want to use Starlink but don’t have deep pockets. I thought Musk’s vision was to make it affordable to all. There should be a Starlink marine section with leadership who will shape policy to be affordable/practical/logical in the unique maritime roaming environment.

We are a family of sailors. Apart from communication, our main use of Starlink is for navigation. So, this would compromise our safety at sea.

We are full time liveaboards cruising up and down the Caribbean islands and other part of the world. Using Global Unlimited and happy with service but 30 day limit in one country when we move from country to coutry on a regular basis every few weeks could be a serious problem. Starlink have already decided the whole of Europe is one country and the whole of USA and Canada is one country/region so surely the Caribbean islands could also all be considered one country/region.

Hello, I've been using starlink for several years since gen2. I have not quite digested the planned changes to roam subscriptions. I really wish the curent pricing stayed in place. Roam unlimited plus per GB at sea is good.

I have had Starlink since it was first available to the public. I shared my praises of the company with millions of people through my social influencer pages. Now, SpaceX has turned its back on the sailing community and put us in precarious positions of choosing safety versus saving money. I am a huge Elon fan, but this is a greedy, monopoly driven campaign to exclude the cruising community. Having had the tech for 5 years, we should be grandfathered in.
