Do you think running Starlink is cheap? Something seems to have struck a nerve.


It’s only five boat units a month and ten boat units for setup. It’s no where near worth it for me because normal phone/wireless data works well where I sail (in addition to iridium network fwiw) - the prices would need to be at least an order (orders) of magnitude cheaper for me to even consider it. Not sure about parent comment though.

Boat ~~ bust out another thousand

Edit: I took parent comment as a joke but ya never know


Right. I'm going to get a go I guess for passage making. Oh well!


No. I just think that their other products and their talk around this was out of touch. They were responding to people who are average cruisers saying it was coming soon. It ended up being a joke.
