Starlink looked like the future of offshore communications and safety but with the changes it’s likely to go back towards the norm which is a real shame as it is game changing technology

we live on our boat in the Caribbean traveling all the time and starlink has been a lifesaver for us...for communicating, for entertainment, and for working.

Only just bought it last year for sailing and I’ve only used it 2 months, and now the rules changed. That was a lot of money for such a short period. At least NZ, Australia & the pacific islands should be 1 country

I live on my boat full-time and travel around the world, frequently moving countries, and I rely on starlink for my navigation and access to weather predictions. There needs to be an alternative for full-time cruisers

I am a full-time cruiser, and make a living working online as a health coach and hypnotherapist. I rely on starlink as I cruise around Australia and soon to be sailing internationally. This new policy is going to make working from my vessel, my home, difficult for me and my family. There needs to be an alternative for full-time ocean cruisers.

I'm a solo cruising sailor on a small budget. Starlink has been transformative for my safety, but I won't be able to afford it under the new rules. I was an early adopter and am on my third dish since 2022. I feel disappointed in starlink for such a radical change in policy after I have invested in all the hardware and have gotten really reliant on it. There is no starlink where I cruise in french Polynesia, I won't be able to sign up for a local plan. I'm very much at a loss on what to do.

I live full time on my sailboat as I circumnavigate the globe. I have relied on unlimited roaming at $175/mo plus $2/GB offshore. I have a family on board and we consistently use 1TB of data per month. SL new plan does not offer a financially sustainable solution for our WiFi needs. Would love them to consider a maritime plan for residential sailboats.

We live on our modest small sailboat and are in the South Pacific where you cannot register Starlink . Our home country, moves around with the time of year and the weather. Good weather forecasting utilizing Starlink is essential for our safety and piece of mind .

Would love to continue with my current affordable Starlink roaming plan but will have to revert to local SIM cards with the current policy.

Because it is for traveling and to be flexible. With the boat, it’s impossible to come to your homeport every 30 days!
