I am a full time live aboard sailor who travels internationally full time. We rely on Starlink for work and most importantly safety at sea. Removing the roam plan is removing us from access to the internet. Starlink was meant to bring us into the future and allow us to be connected, now that’s being removed for financial reasons. With the changes suggested it is not possible for us to afford to stay connected with priority plans and therefore removing us from Starlink.

For us starlink is our safety and with your new policy you put our live at risk but iam sure you don't car about it. With your cash you are selfish

This policy change does not appear to be for regulatory purposes, but to drive people into an expensive over the top global priority tier. Most of us are living on boats that cost the same as an RV, i.e. $100-200K. We don't have super yachts. I am a full time sailing cruiser. I cannot take my SL dish back to the U.S. every 30 days. I am spending 6-9 months cruising in Mexico before heading south to Panama.

Starlink has made many facets of cruising much safer, but most cruisers live on budgets of under US$40K. We're not the multi-millionaires that many people think we are. We can't afford the Global Priority plans.
Please reconsider your decision to change the way that the Unlimited Roam plan works, &/or let us change our base location more often.

We are travelers who spend 2-3 month in each country we visit in Latin America. Starlink has been helpful to our small business, and we depend on it but don’t generate enough revenue to afford the new rates under the new policy. Thank you for consideration.

We bought SL when we were in Spain with the boat so SL thinks our home country is Spain. We left there three years ago. We are Dutch passport holders but do not have a home in NL. In fact our boat is our home and our residence is where the boat is. We do not have property anywhere. We are nowhere registered as a resident. Returning to Spain for a reset just because we bought the unit there is absurd. The new T&C’s would be killing for us. The new plan is also becoming too expensive.

The sailing community is small compared to starlink's overall market and should not be penalized because we move around. Not all sailors and cruisers are super wealthy and we have become dependent on the safety Starlink provides. it seems specious to pick on such a small market when the cost of the service is essentially the same worldwide.
