You can get Starlink right now, but read the fine print first

, not everyone is happy that Starlink for RVs has provided a no-waiting option even as some fans who signed up for home service have shipping dates that aren’t due until 2023.Taking that route won’t be cheap, though. Like most people in the US who live east of the Mississippi River, my home address is waitlisted for Starlink service, but I could sign up for a dish today with $99 down and an estimated $110 monthly service price.

For my extra $25 each month, I would enjoy “best effort service,” as well as the option to pause service for months when I don’t need it. As theexplains, “Network resources are always de-prioritized for Starlink for RVs users compared to other Starlink services, resulting in degraded service and slower speeds in congested areas and during peak hours. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of the service are not guaranteed.

Effectively, that translates to a big warning for anyone who might try to use the RV program — intended for people headed into the wilderness where other internet access may not be possible — as a way to get Starlink home internet right now. It’s your choice, but it would cost extra and likely have slower service, making waiting seem more worthwhile.
