I know it has been $199 in the past, but even at $399, it's lower than RRP. The offer ends Friday according to the email.

Officeworks currently has it for $599.

    I have one that I haven't opened and not sure how to return. Pretty sure it's past the return for a refund date (it's been over a month). Does anyone know the process, I can't seem to find it via their website.

      Starlink Website

        Yes I've read this, I can't seem to find it still through their portal. All good, appreciate the response.

        • geekcohen on 23/08/2023 - 11:33

          This is in the Starlink account under the support section

          You can return any mount or accessory purchased from the Starlink Shop within 30 days of receipt for a full refund of your payment. If you are outside the 30 day window, you are unable to return your order.

          Sounds like you are out of luck.

          However, you could probably just sell it on to someone else, Facebook etc. They should be able to activate the service in their own account since they already have the hardware.

          Otherwise, you could just hand the account over and change the details.

          Note - Cannot confirm if that actually works, just a thought

            @geekcohen: Ah shoot, ok no worries. I was hoping they have like a return section like amazon/ebay etc. Print a label, send it back etc. Thanks again

            • geekcohen on 23/08/2023 - 11:41

              @h0dl: Well they do, but only if you are in the 30 day window

              If you are within the 30 day window from when your kit was delivered, and service has been cancelled within your account, a return shipping label will be sent to the email listed on your account.

              • h0dl on 23/08/2023 - 11:45

                @geekcohen: Ok, you're missing my point. It's not as straight forward as you're making it seem. I can't find the return policy in the portal. There is no return label that you can print off, unless I'm missing something.

                  Ok, you're missing my point

                  I get your point. No need to get knarky.

                  It's not as straight forward as you're making it seem. I can't find the return policy in the portal. There is no return label that you can print off, unless I'm missing something.

                  I am just passing on what is in the Starlink portal.

                  And I didn't receive a shipping label once I cancelled the service.

                  Possibly because you are outside of the 30 day period?

      You can call Starlink support @ 1800 954 824. Speak to a customer service rep and ask for a return label sent to your email tied to the Starlink account. Once a service ticket is set-up for you, you can chat with them using the messages tab on the app.

      They will send you a DHL return label, but you can also ask them for an Auspost return label if you have no nearby DHL service center available. Alternatively, you can just ask DHL to pick up your Starlink and they won't charge you for it.

      Hope this helps.

      • h0dl on 23/08/2023 - 12:11

        Many thanks. I've tried calling the support line, which is basically an automated answering machine advising that someone will come back to me within 3 days. Will continue to research thanks.

        • tetsujin on 23/08/2023 - 12:15

          I've got a callback from them a couple of hours after I made the call so it shouldn't be long now.

    It's not the hardware charge for me, if it was lower than $139 a month I'd probably hop on being rural

    • geekcohen on 23/08/2023 - 11:36

      Generally, residents who have no other alternative (like crap NBN Fixed Wireless or Skymesh) will go for it and pay the fee.

      $139 is still about the same price as NBN 250/25 which is $129 via AussieBroadband. Starlink is about 200/20 at times, whilst it does vary, you generally get over 100mbps.

        You are also rural where anything over 20 down is literally gods gift

          I think this is the bit people need to remember. yeah its (profanity) expensive to Fixed Wired NBN in metro areas… but rural youre either getting jack shit or shit-all.

          It isn't just the speed it is the 30-40ms latency compared to 600ms+ from SkyMuster satellites.

      • mwblink86 on 23/08/2023 - 13:22

        In guess that's true I pay 59.95 for 50/10 and that's when it wants to go that speed

    • cornflakes on 23/08/2023 - 12:08

      $139 isn't too bad I reckon. The only thing stopping me getting Starlink now is that their RV plan is a whopping $179 per month. That's just a tad too high for me.

      • geekcohen on 23/08/2023 - 14:44

        Yeah, their Roam plan. Still pretty good compared to have Starlink at home plus paying $50 or $60 for 4G/5G data.

    Starlink Internet

    When is the name changing to XXX Internet ?

  • Nathw on 23/08/2023 - 11:55

    Papa Elon🙏

  • gankmeplz on 23/08/2023 - 12:50

    is the gaming latency to Asia any better with this ?

    • geekcohen on 24/08/2023 - 14:39

      Probably not since the base stations are AU based.

  • freedomofspeech on 23/08/2023 - 13:09

    Starlink Satellites highly affected by the increasing Solar maximum..
