I don't know too much about it, but a few of my friends who have a normal one and on reddit I saw starlink doesn't work beyond country boundaries... that is a real no-no in the EU as for instance popping from Spain to pt or pt to Spain to France or Belgium to France or NL would be things I do a lot. Does the RV version fix that? I have mobile subs that work well throughout the EU: I would buy starlink if it works smoothly throughout the EU. The boundaries are artificial and at the cost for this thing, I cannot see how it is a good deal unless I am somewhere (in the same country?) where there is no mobile signal.
- mlindner 4y agoThis is a regulatory issue in the EU I believe.
- hackernewds 4y agowhy do those boundaries exist? Project Fi works just fine
- tluyben2 4y agoGoogle Fi looks like a mobile plan? I never checked it because cannot order that in the EU.
- steveoscaro 4y agoThe fine print for the Starlink RV system says you can use the terminal outside of your registered country for 2 months, after that you'd have to change the registered address to whatever country you're using it in.
- tluyben2 4y agoThe thing is that people with RVs in Europe usually hop around countries a lot. In Australia or the US there is enough space in the country. Almost everyone who has an RV stay 2-3 months per country and then go to another. A group of people who rock up to where I live are old friends together from Sweden who come over in 7 RVs for 2 months via Germany, Denmark, France , Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
