100% what I am thinking, but the OP needs to increase their budget and really consider POE.

Considered a Ford Everest? The leg room in the 3rd row is pretty generous. Just picked one up today for my wife and the family. We got an…

Yes, I did think about that but I ideally wanted daily pricing. If a product wasn't visited for a few days, it might not track the price…

Its not super hard, but you need your kit number and a few other bits. Its just a longer process and right now there is a bug with the…

I would just go and buy it from a retailer if that is the case. You don't do any subscription stuff from retailers until you want to use…

Yeah, they have since dropped their price now.
09/10/2025 - 05:55
Yes, but the costs were still pretty high that it would have to be getting a lot of advertising revenue to cover the costs. Referral there…

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.
07/10/2025 - 11:07
Exactly and you must retain your Residential Service. If you cancel the Residential, then you need to pay for the hardware or return it.
07/10/2025 - 11:05
You must be selecting residential?

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

Starlink Mini $449 (RRP $599) + Service Plan (Min $8.50/Month for Standby Plan) @ Starlink
You can run Starlink Mini on Residential, but it seems silly since it has the Router/WiFi built in so you would need more coverage etc (it…

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.
