Was on Starlink site today and noticed Standard Kit on special!

Looks to be Regional Areas Only due to "congestion" charge within Metro Areas - Tested for VIC and NSW Metro Addresses. Regional Appears to be fine and no additional charge.

The Generation 3 Standard Starlink Kit is on Sale via Starlink (at the moment). Highly likely that being Starlink have done the Sale, all retailers like JB, Harvey Norman, Officeworks and Bunnings will most likely lower their prices (usually within 24 hours).

This is more suited for homes and businesses with fixed locations.

Speed Tests of Standard Kit can be found here including Latency - This is on a Residential Plan (not Residential Lite).

Two Residential Plan Option:

  • Residential - Our most popular plan for typical residential customers. Unlimited data.
  • Residential Lite - An affordable option for smaller households and lower internet usage. Unlimited deprioritized data. Speeds may be lower than our Residential service at peak hours.

Referral Links

Referral: random (110)

The referrer and referee receives bonus credit for a month of standard service, 30 days after the referee activates and keeps their Starlink. Referrals will only issue credits to Standard Plan (Residential) and Mobile Regional (Roam) subscriptions. Kits purchased from a retailer or reseller are not eligible for the referral program. No credit will be given even if a referral link was used during activation.

      Are the same people boycotting Musk the same people that glue themselves to tucks, freeways and roads in protest of the climate emergency?

      No.

      There is no climate emergency.

          But I guess where is the need for people to conflate the two. I also can't stand watching some of this unfold, that 30min+ piece with Trump supporting Tesla last week was rediculous, albiet just almost as bad with Biden/GM. I own a Tesla and have Starlink, wouldn't stop me recommending them to friend or family member because the product is plainly great.

          • M00Cow on 20/03/2025 - 15:53

            @panderiz: well he does mix the two. As you said he mixed the two with Trump & Tesla at the Whitehouse. So you can hardly blame people for following his lead.

            I have difficulties with people in Oz being offended and getting overly passionate about US domestic politics. If they were really that passionate about it they'd actually do something that hurts them, like boycott all NewsCorp companies as they strongly support Elon, Trump and the right wing cheer squad. They'd boycott Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, etc all whom went on bended knee to Trump. But no, that would cause them discomfort, so yelling at the clouds makes them feel like they're doing something when they're doing nothing.

            The truth is US domestic politics little or no effect on them or their lives. Even the tarrifs will have zero effect for the vast majority of Australians. The overall net effect will actually be positive as our agricultural exports will increase to fill the gaps in US exports affected. Electronics and items from China will be landed here cheaper as they need to clear any backlog from cancelled US orders.

        I have no rage, nor do I even use social media. I just know I disagree with the decisions Elon is making, as well as him being even in a position to make them. It's pretty typical from that side of the fence to resort to petty name calling like this.

        It's just weird how a few years ago Elon & EVs were the enemy, now you all worship the ground he walks on. I honestly used to like him when he was just a tech guy. But just like your weird uncle who's just joined Facebook, should never have been given such a platform because here we are.

          What decisions specifically? Could you elaborate? Was it to create a global digital payments platform? An EV revolution? Or cheaper more capable space travel? Or more ubiquitous high speed internet? Revolutionary AI? Or more efficient government?
          You are allowed to disagree, that is what separates free societies from autocracies, but if the cost of progress and innovation is a weird personality that upsets fragile minds then so be it.

          It's just weird how a few years ago Elon & EVs were the enemy, now you all worship the ground he walks on.

          Who does? You seem to be inventing strawman here to argue against. I've never had a problem with Musk or EV's, nor do I worship him. I have had a problem with taxpayer funds being used to fund special interests though, a topic the Left only seems to be aware of when it used for things they don't like.

          You know that not hating someone and joining in the angry mobs doesn't mean you worship them. Somewhere in between black and white exists infinite shades of grey. I think this is part of the 'tact' of which you speak.

      Very possible, but he could then lose the income to fund Starship. What Starlink is bringing in gets used for R&D for Starship. If he annoys one place, then it has a flow on effect to potentially other countries etc.

      Interesting read

      Yes, it is a bit interesting. However, security concerns? I would say they are very secure because there are contracts in place with governments and other agencies. And Regulatory concerns? I would say they are following everything by the book. Just looks like a very opinionated piece…. like many of the comments in this deal…. all opinions…. However, there are some things raised in the article that are a fair point like the congestion. But maybe that means governements need to do more, but will that happen anytime soon? Unlikely……..

      SpaceX have a big advantage because they can launch rockets at cost and pretty much when they want. Other providers need to buy spots on launches (which a majority are SpaceX launches anyway) and even then, they only get 1 to 2 satellites….. plus pay customer pricing. SpaceX are launching 22 in each launch!

                    He doesn't do any of those things, he certain invests in companies that do build rockets, mostly successfully, and likewise invests in a company that provides satellite based internet for those in remote locations, but has been know to shut that down from time to time in Ukraine's case when they were about to hit Russian naval bases.
                    As for making Government more efficient, he has just been causing chaos. Ask those whose Social Security payments have been cut, that they have paid into for years, and in some cases had their bank accounts hit in claw backs whether this is efficiency.

Of course his role in the companies and his political actions can't be easily decoupled. It is asinine to expect everyone to do so. It is naive not to expect some people to want to boycott his companies because of his actions and once they decide to do so to be quiet about it.

        Thanks, I don't really have any specific questions, I'm just interested in hearing about other people's experiences and use cases. I don't really need it, I have a FW NBN connection which is generally adequate, I'm probably more interested in having it as a comms backup that isn't reliant on local infrastructure. I'm in S.E Qld but far enough inland that Alfred didn't cause us any issues. But we've had nasty storms before and lost NBN and I think extended power outages could take out 4g service as well. I like the idea of Starlink not being reliant on anything local (powering it is not an issue for me, I'm offgrid).
        Plus the idea of being able to travel with it appeals. I think I might wait for a deal on the mini and try the 50gb plan.

        • geekcohen on 20/03/2025 - 15:53

          It is perfect for emergencie and comms backup. The roaming is good for this as well.

          The mini is a good solution, but remember it is an all in one solution with the router within it. So for home, it might not be suitable because the WiFi coverage could be poor within the house. At least with the Standard Kit, dish is outside and then the router is inside providing the coverage. But, it doesn't mean having 240v all the time especial if you travel and only have minimal 12v. So pros and cons to both.

          I have it as a failover to my primary connection on the house (hooked in with my Ubiquiti dream machine, automatically happens). I have another roaming kit permanently on my ute which works great travelling around, no need for a 4G hotspot anymore. I also have a Mini which is mostly on pause, but is very handy.

          Overall, Starlink is great for regional/remote areas where NBN FW is poor or unreliable. It is great to have as a backup during storms etc as well.

            @geekcohen: I thought the mini had an ethernet port though, so you can bypass the internal router and use your own? I understand it's limited to 100mb/s speed also, and for the price of the service I kinda think you might as well get the best speed you can - but, the mini is mini and also being DC powered out of the box does make it more appealing for the travel side of things. It looks to be small enough that I could carry it on my motorbike for adventure trips, which again could make it useful for emergencies.

              Yes there is, but it means you have to run another ethernet cable and then power another access point/router. Just additional elements, but yes, you could run an Ethernet cable back into your house.

              understand it's limited to 100mb/s speed also, and for the price of the service I kinda think you might as well get the best speed you can

              100mb/s or there abouts, I've got about 150 on my mini.

              the mini is mini and also being DC powered out of the box does make it more appealing for the travel side of things.

              100%, you can power the mini of a power pack / power bank.

              Yeah it is about the size of a laptop, so easily go into a bag pack.

      Sure if you have FTTP, FTTB, FTTC or maybe FTTN. But for those with FW or Sate, NBN can be unreliable and painful.

      Elon bad mood - pushes 'X' button and your internet stops - He done that only for military use of his devices. In any other times he would be eveil if he would allow his product be actively used in a war.
      He should have done exactly what OneWeb did. Nothing! Instread he helped Ukraine to defend themselves. And for a significant period paid it himself.

      Elon foul mood - pushes 'XX' button and your Tesla catches fire - I do not know if catches fire, but yes, it stops, if you are a war criminal and get the car despite the embargo. Again, wondering what the reaction would be if he would say, yes, I know russin general use my car, he got the car illegaly despite the embargo, I can stop it, but I will not.

      Elon manic mood - pushes 'XXX' button and your home battery explodes. Where did you get that?? Send link pls.

      NBN - safe bet - great idea. I am going to sell my Starlink I purchsed year ago, and order NBN for my campervan!

    I am very interested in mounting a Starlink Roam portable kit to the roof of my car. Do these go on special / ever have deals? I'll have to look more into the mount but there is an image on the website of one mounted to the roof of a vehicle that is moving at 100mph / 160kph. My partner and I both work remotely / passively and so this kit is ideal. If there are folks who have fitted one or someone has examples that would be grand.

      The mini was on special last December 2024 into January 2025, so they will probably go on special again. It was $299 + Delivery. I bought one during this period.

      I've fitted my Gen 3 (Standard Kit on Roaming Plan) to the canopy of my ute and travel 110 down the freeway no worries. My daughter connects to it via her tablet. Even got a mini PC connected doing speed tests and plots it on a map.

      As for mounting, I bought a bolt on mount from Starlink, then bolted that to the pipe which is then secure through the roof of the canopy to the bracing bar. There are multiple options available for roof racks, roof platforms and more available from Starlink directly or third parties.

    Lap it up hating the rich guy, hope it makes the bigots feel better about themselves.

    Anyway, Starlink is a truly incredible service and product. And so is the Tesla.

    Anyway, anybody seen deals on the Starlink Roam? My parents could really use something like this in the RV when they take it out, but only need to subscribe when they're on the road. Anyone experienced with this type of use?

    • geekcohen on 20/03/2025 - 16:17

      Roaming is the plan, the hardware is what goes on special. The mini was on special December 2024 and January 2025.

      Your parents probably want the Mini which is all in one and can run on 12v. The Standard Kit requires 240v. I have a mini that I use every now and then which is on pause and handy at the moment.

      When they want it, just unpause and away they go within about 15 mins (I always suggest unpausing a day before it is required to be safe).

      I am slightly disappointed with political comments with deals. Tech sites, bargain sites, hobby sites, etc should put this aside.
      I am here for the deals, not for a political crap. I didn't like Musk beofre, don't like him now, but there is no replacement for Starlink right now.
      So let's talk about the deal and not about politics.

    • Frozensage on 20/03/2025 - 17:54

      Once any site goes mainstream, all the kb warriors wants to come and give their 2 cents about their world view from their basement. When you call out someone else as being brain washed, you are really just being brain washed by the other side. The media has their own agenda, the more violent, controversy, hate and conflict, the better for them.

    How do they define regional/rural and areas that are congested?

    I put in my address which is rural/regional for every other metric but they’re trying to charge $549 for the setup and $139 a month (it won’t let me see the $99 a month plan?). But even then it won’t let me progress to an order.

    I’ve got no copper, no fibre, no HFC and I tried to do fixed wireless NBN but I can’t see the tower so it doesn’t work. I get one bar of Telstra so they won’t sell me 4G Internet and Sky Muster is a joke. I was hoping this would work.

    Too much politics. The truth is there is no replacement for Starlink for now. Going to Outback, or live in a area without proper NBN, you need it. And people who say thay would rather live offile - please try it for few weeks. Then come back and share your experience being without a phone and without an internet for few weeks.
    It is everyone right to choose what product they will buy or not. But some comments are just silly.
    I was not a fan of Elon back then, I am not particular fan of Elon now, but I purchased several Starlinks before his new "role", especially in times when I, as a former EU citizen, really hated the hard push for EV - and Elon with his Telsa was the main figure for EV movement. And yet, I choose the product becuse it was the only reasonable choice I got for my need.
    Politics aside, for who is interested - the standard kit easily gets over 450Mbps download (and that was on a roam plan, not dedicated bandwidth you got with home connection). It is quite reliable, as long as you got clear view of the sky. I used to be a radioamateur and my guess is that Elon must be loosing money on the terminal itself, as it is a masterpiece of technology. 20 years ago I would not beleive such tehnology would be in reach for an average person.

    Separate the man from the politics, you don't have to agree with his opinions and politics, but you can't deny his companies Tesla, Star Link, Space X have been very successful and moved the world forward.
