For an extra $25 per month, I’d like “best-effort service” as well as the ability to halt service for months when I’m not using it. “Network resources are always de-prioritized for Starlink for RVs customers compared to other Starlink services, resulting in degraded service and slower speeds in busy locations and during peak hours,” according to Starlink for RVs FAQ. The stated speeds and uninterrupted service use are not guaranteed. During peak hours, service degradation will be most severe in “Waitlist” locations on the Starlink Availability Map.”
That effectively translates to a strong caution for anyone considering using the RV program — designed for folks heading into the wilderness where other internet access may be unavailable — to acquire Starlink home internet right now. It’s your option, but it will cost more and possibly result in slower service, making the wait seem more worthwhile.
