I looked into this and couldn't find anything in the T&Cs.
Almost always better off buying things upfront rather than renting them if you're planning on keeping it in the long term. Such decisions add up. Most people I know who have no money live a lavish lifestyle where they rent or finance everything. Car, phone, phone plan etc.
Says you can try for 30 days or money back full refund?
So can I do that lol for fun?!

If you rent this and it dies in say 3yrs, do you get a "free" replacement even out of warranty?
You would assume so. Starlink is generally pretty good anyway with replacement and/or issues. Lots of stories on reddit where Starlink has issues a new dish if it has been damaged in someway even after a few years.
I think this is interesting to us rural folks stuck on fttn, fw, or satellite. Great way to test it out without having to splurge $600 on hardware. I'm in a small town at the end of a copper run. No upgrade path, no ETA on fttp. My best speeds about on a par with starlink average, but starlink will probably get faster.
Definitely would be a much better solution. There is a 30 day money back, so buy it and then if not suitable do a return. You won't regret it though. I've done installs for many and they absolutely love it.
Its definitely a worthy idea to look into. It depends on many factors, weather can effect the stability, you will always have bad ping because of the type of connection and the more uptake of starlink the more bogged down speeds will get, but I think that last bit will be negligible in the real world. In my old town just outside of Sydney most residents have changed over to starlink because of our governments refusal to bring them into fibre technology and most of them strongly recommend the change over.

But post people have this issue/performance on FW or Satelitte anyway.

Yet to see this impact Starlink speeds.
People on copper lines will notice a ping difference with starlink, even if they see an increase in download. It is something to take note of if timing is important for your usage. You are yet to see it impact starlink speeds because the uptake in Australia is not even close to what its like in locations like America, but again still something to be aware of.

Of course, that's why I didn't mention FTTN users. This handy map can tell you average latency for each state. Starlink is working on latency reduction as well. Primarily through Firmware updates and some users have also noticed a movement in their Gen 2 dishes. So it is coming down and I believe Starlink is aiming for be 20ms or under.
Over the course of a week in CBD Melbourne, my Starlink was on hire for Moomba and it had a min of 24ms, max of 53ms.

Of course. But even in the US, haven't seen any complaints about speed drops because of additional uptake.
@geekcohen: You seem very defensive of the starlink system, there is nothing wrong with discussing the shortfalls of the product and making potential buyers aware of that. As always we should discuss the product in its current state, not what starlink is planning or expecting in the future, never buy something off the promises of future improvements.

I am not defensive at all, I am a big supporter of Starlink.
For anyone on FW or Satellite NBN, Starlink can be a huge game changer for them.

Of course, but just explaining it and that even early signs for US testing is showing positives. They could backflip like NBN and their complete FTTP, look how that went.

Yes we can tell, thats kinda my point, you just gave the salesman speech response to two genuine shortfalls that should be taken into consideration when buying the product.
@doobey1231: Yes of course they are considerations. But when people have crap latency and speeds on FW or Satelittle, Starlink is better 99% of the time.
FTTN is completely different when it comes to latency.
Latency generally only comes into play as well when people are gaming a lot and where they care about latency. Only 1 of my installations I have done for Starlink were they serious gamers. Everyone else just wanted to be able to WFH from home comfortably and be able to watch their favourite netflix series without buffering.
But obviously everyone's use case is different.
@geekcohen: Again more salesman speech, save it bloke. They are issues to be considered, its up to the individual as to whether those issues will effect them personally, its as simple as that. Side note - you should work for the marketing team.

When an AU position comes up, I'll be sure to apply.
Agree with other posts, a great way to try out Starlink without having to commit to the upfront cost. Im on Fixed Wireless NBN in a rural area with average speeds around 40/4, it does the job at $85 per month. Would like to give Starlink a go to see if its worth the extra $.
Thanks for the info, just checked out starlinkinstallgippsland.au. You'd do well with your service on the Fraser Coast in rural Qld where I am.
It's a bit of a drive.
Starlink is a good option for those in regional Australia on fixed wireless. Just be mindful the ping aka reaction time is higher but speeds are faster. Depends in what you are doing. Watching youtube isn't an issue but playing counter strike.
This option isn't a bad test and try for users.
Weren't there refurbs for $300?
I think its good if you only need it for few months, but depending how long you intend to keep it, do the math, and see if its better off buying outright.
So short term, yes, paying rental would be fine. However, if you plan to have it at home and do a permanent install, outright would be better in the long run.

I suppose what's the minimum contract and return costs?
