Yeah, they have since dropped their price now.

Good pickup. [Officeworks has dropped the price](https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/starlink-mini-stlnkmini).

Regardless, it is very slow and only usable for phone calls. Its a stupid plan in my view and I think just more of a money grab.

Yes, that is true. But every test I have done has provided 1 Mbps, and you can see the test hard limiting. Unlikely to go below it.

I got 1Mbps on mine.

Exactly and you must retain your Residential Service. If you cancel the Residential, then you need to pay for the hardware or return it.

You must be selecting residential?

It is not applicable to all areas. Demand surcharge should only apply to Residential.

I've got one and use it a couple of times a week making Frappes. Keen to use it for slushies for the summer. Very happy.
