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.
@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
