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(jbhifi.com.au), Harvey Norman(harveynorman.com.au), Officeworks(officeworks.com.au) and Bunnings(bunnings.com.au) 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(starlinkinstallgippsland.au) 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.

      Have a chat to anyone who has had to use satellite NBN (Sky Muster) and we will tell you nbn might be a "safe bet" but its useless.

      You twits just watch the news and drone on about Elon man bad, grow up get out of the city and you might see how much of a difference Starlink has made in the regions.

      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'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.

      I've fitted my Gen 3 (Standard Kit on Roaming Plan) to the canopy of my ute(clcarsblog.com) 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(starlinkinstallgippsland.au).

      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.

    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 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.

    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.

Musk eventually settled the case by paying a $20 million fine and agreeing to step down as chairman of the company.

            BTW, Trump just signed an executive order to abolish the Department of Education, which is appalling.

              @RecklessMonkeys: Maybe u aren't aware, but from my recollection of my education in Australia. There is lots of propaganda being feed to me from primary school to university.

              Only in the last 5 or so years did I manage to see it for what it is. Even a few days ago I spotted so called facts being added to during a one day course.

              Edit: having a single body deciding what to teach to kids is a scary idea. Like having a single authority on deciding what is the truth. It's is the questioning that shouldn't be suppress.

                @User7699: So therefore abolish the department of education, and replace it with something that Trump, a convicted criminal and serial liar, likes?

                  @RecklessMonkeys: What you are doing is straw man fallacy. U are atking trump character. Sure, I see issues with trump too.

                    @User7699: Nonsense. You were trying to justify his actions by claiming 'propaganda' in your own Australian experience.

                    • User7699 on 20/03/2025 - 22:48

                      @RecklessMonkeys: I am saying having a single body deciding what to teach is itself more in line with facism. I was using my experience to illustrate why it dangerous.

                      I ignore your assumption that musk went after the SEC for revange.. for all I know it could play a part in his decision.

                      I don't attack any individual to prove explain my point.

                        @User7699: That's akin to arguing that a federal government should not exist, since it is a single body, when in fact it takes input from a multitude of stakeholders.

                          @RecklessMonkeys: There is lots of corruption in government and it not as democratic as you think. The government system is distorted from how it was design. As time progress it will get worst and worst.

                          Edit: yes, we were taught how it was ment to be. Now I can't even watch what happen in parliament due to the continual insult.

                              Edit: let end it here on this agreement. It good how neither of us resort to insulting each other. If u want u can add whatever ending remark after this.

    Wait Elon is a nazi but he wears dog tags that says "Bring them home" in solidarity with Jewish hostages?

    The same guy who has kids with a half Indian woman?

      It doesn't have to make sense, as long as their leaders tell them to think a certain way, they will.

    It's funny how previously whenever anyone on the right would comment on the incompetence of Biden and how all the media ran cover for him over the last 4 years when it related to an ozb deal the response from the left was always something like "why bring American politics to Australia?!?"… Now the shoe is on the other foot and they don't like what's going on in the leader of the free world, all of a sudden the screeching doesn't stop.

    But hey, as they say, if lefties didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any ;)

    • am0i on 21/03/2025 - 08:02

      There aren't equivalent mate.

      The political landscape there is something else and I couldn't give two sh*ts about it but what I ultimately care is Australia.

      Trump et al will likely harm our economy.

      Look at what they did to Canada. At something we need unite like Canada against Trump et al if they try to harm our country and its interests.

      • Binchicken22 on 21/03/2025 - 08:36

        Who cares if Trump's policies will harm Australia, we need to do better if someone else's policies will kill our economy.

        Not to mention, where is the outrage on all the BYD and Chinese EV deals when China introduced policies that were specifically designed to harm our economy? I don't remember the lefties screeching over that.

        That whole argument is just a straw man to cover for unhinged leftwing idiots whinging about someone who's politics they don't agree with.

          There’s literally a list comments critisting china and Chinese made cars on all Chinese EV deals here…you see what you like and ignore all evidence of otherwise. It’s pretty clear.

      Is it maybe because it is off the topic of Starlink and this deal?

      Create a post about it and I can criticise China all day long too, but hey, let’s conflate the two issues into one.

    how does Residential Lite [$99] compare to Residential [$139]

    • geekcohen on 21/03/2025 - 05:31

      Unlimited deprioritized data. Speeds may be lower than our Residential service at peak hours.

      • mantra on 21/03/2025 - 13:30

        i did see that was hoping for user experiences, also found something on their site with more detail(starlink.com)

        Speeds should range from 50 - 100 Mbps (as compared to 150 - 250 Mbps for the Residential service plan)

        so i'm guessing expect a 3rd of speed during peak

        i'm personally more concerned of upload so hopefully that isn't affected as significantly

        i heard ping is better on lite plan

        • geekcohen on 21/03/2025 - 13:32

          Speeds should range from 50 - 100 Mbps (as compared to 150 - 250 Mbps for the Residential service plan)

          But on the Residential Plan you can get 200 to 300 Mbps in Australia.

          i'm personally more concerned of upload so hopefully that isn't affected as significantly

          Upload is an overall downside to Starlink unfortunately.

          i heard ping is better on lite plan

          I don't see how….. Ping on Residential is like 20 to 30ms. I don't see how it would be lower.

          Maybe I need to trial this on my Starlink Mini and see what it returns.

          • mantra on 21/03/2025 - 14:04

            @geekcohen: in middle of the night i get 400-450mbps sometimes

            throughout the day one minute it's 80mbps the next it's 250mbps

            for upload it's low as 4mbps but sometimes seen it 27mbps max 37mbps

            i have a feeling lite plan maybe more predictable consistent

            i do a speed test every hour, my averages are quite high

            data from past week average

            221.06MBps Download
            21.12MBps Upload
            44.25ms ping

            data from past month average

            209.49MBps Download
            19.71MBps Upload
            53.21ms ping

            i think ping could be better for similar reason why idle ping test and loaded ping test is slower, whether starlink optimises artificially limited connections im unsure

            i only read from one source about better ping but felt it made sense

            • geekcohen on 21/03/2025 - 14:13

              @mantra: I know about speed tests because I run them every 5 mins(starlinkinstallgippsland.au).

              The ping doesn't make sense to me for being on Residential Lite. Like, ping in ping, how it can be lower just because of the plan? Anyway, something to test on my mini I think.

              As for your ping, that is very high! Your averages are lower than mine, so you must be away from either the Sydney or the Perth POP. I am in VIC.
