Cheaper option for Starlink for those of us without fibre. Free shipping, 30 day trial.

Starlink Standard & deprioritized Standard service plans have no data caps and no speed caps.

For the deprioritized Standard service, you can expect 50-100 Mbps download speeds (as compared to 150-250 Mbps for the Standard service plan).

Standard service is always prioritized over deprioritized service. This means that speeds will be lower for deprioritized service relative to our Standard Starlink service, especially when the most users are on the network.

  Do they let you use this on a motor home type situation?

    Na, the mobile plan is still $199 per month

    Ordered the deprioritised plan last night, with the refurb panel for $199 so will update once it arrives how it goes

    And found a cheap VoIP provider for homeline

      Does Starlink enforce you to setup in a fixed location the whole time?

        Rowjo on 03/03/2024 - 09:22

        yes from what I have seen online. So you can move around a bit but too far and it'll give you the choice to upgrade to mobile plan or go without. From what I have seen, the area can be quite generous though.

        This is all just reading online, not person experience though.

        Hi, I have been with Hero Voip in the past - their commincation sucks, and prices seemed cheapest at the time for what I want once running it went fine, although they said there was an issue on my side, but turned out they just hadn't completed porting my number or something along those lines so spent $20 plus replacing all my cables and had no phone for 2 weeks because they had issues on their side.

        Im just waiting my 30 days cancellation period with NOW nz then will finish off the sign up process with Kiwi VoIP.

        Kiwi VoIP prices seem good for what I need, and their communication seems top notch so will see how it goes, plus I see they have a star link palns but the regular residential plans seem better value for my needs

          @Rowjo: I was thinking the same thing. Not sure what the point is with their starlink plans.

        I've been using Kiwi Voip on Starlink for a couple of years with no problems.
        I use an old 2Degrees router (Fritzbox) to provide a physical analog phone port for the VoIP. Don't believe that Kiwi Voip officially support this though. Instead they prefer you put an app on your mobile to use your landline number

          CheapSkate69 on 03/03/2024 - 21:53

          @toocheap: Thanks mate. I'd be using the analog phone ports on an old router as well so good to know it works albeit not supported by the outfit. I'll probably go with kiwi voip if I can't get away with just using the free plan on 2talk.

        I've been using 2Talk for years, only have it for the international calls. $10+GST a month is cheap for what you get. Their app used to be good but they discontinued it. So I run another app now and since my actually handheld device battery died I never replaced it. Was handy for making local NZ calls while overseas too. If I didn't need the international calls i'd not have a "landline" though.

          @Fragluton: Thanks for that. I was looking at 2talk. Basically I just want to put my parents on starlink but keep their landline number alive so they can still receive calls on it. I wonder if the 2talk free plan would actually fulfil this purpose if I just port their number across? What app are you using now btw?

            @CheapSkate69: The free plan comes with an 028 number, and 2talk usually charges to add a local/landline number ($6/mth+GST IIRC).

  Awesome news! My old man lives in an area with almost no mobile coverage and is running a disastrous ADSL connection to watch YouTube and Netflix. This is perfect for him, cheers OP!

  Just a reminder that at Noel Leeming you can normally get a useful discount on the dish with a card such as: Motor home, Gold card, Farmlands, CSCBG etc (currently around $326 with the discount)

  Also note that there is a new dish coming out shortly with better WiFi (among other differences)

    Any info on when the gen 3 kit launches here?

      toocheap on 02/03/2024 - 09:28

      Sorry no news. However the new dish became available in the US a while back (2 or 3 months).

      A big advantage of the new dish is that it is cheaper to build. Starlink says "…that allows us to lower the cost of Starlink".

      The new router has WiFi 6, but you can get better Wifi on the old dishes by adding a 3rd party mesh system.

      There's a good rundown on the new dish here

  I've set it up to switch at my next billing cycle. We couldn't get anything better than ADSL where we are (5mbps down/0.6 mbps up on a good day..!) until Starlink came along. It has been amazing but the price is a bit out of our ideal budget so we're willing to give deprioritised a shot!

  The great thing is that if you want to go back to the standard plan you can do so at any time and pay a pro-rated cost.
