We have the Starlink Mini. Three and a half years ago we got the "Better Than Nothing Beta" offer and it changed our lives because we lived out in the country and didn't have internet. Now we have fiber at the house so, I took our Starlink up to where we park our travel trailer. It is a pain to take with us when we go camping and changing the address is always scary because we might not get our trailer access when we change back.
Nine days ago we got the offer for the Starlink Mini and yesterday it arrived. I wish it could be powered by USB-C and the 50gb limit isn't great. You can pay $1/gb if you go over. The price was more than our original dishy. Also, don't know if I am going to like the router being attached to the dish if we go camping. I got a little over 100 feet of range from the wifi, outside with no obstructions. There is about 45 feet of power cord. At best, you can be around 150 feet from your power source and 100 feet from clear skies. That will be tough for some of the places we go camping but, it's better than a 45-minute drive to cell service to make a call. Our phones make wifi calls and we could also use Google Voice.
With all of that being said, I love this thing so far. Spaceman, if you are reading this, hurry up and put out the Starlink phone. TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Update: I have not confirmed myself about the USB-C cable yet but, someone told me that the barrel side was a 5521 and to get a cable that can push 100w. I did contact support about the mention of a cable on one of the spec sheets. Here is basically how that went.
Me: I just got the Starlink Mini. On your site, api.starlink.c... it says "100W, 20V/5A Minimum (with Starlink USB-C to Barrel Jack Cable Accessory)". Where can I buy this? It is not on the site for shop.starlink....
Support: As of now the only options we have regarding power sourcing will be including what is available in-box at original purchase. This is still an extremely new device and situational scenarios are still underway to confirm if other alternatives are safe to apply to the device just yet. Please continue to check our Starlink website for new accessories/ equipment regarding the Starlink Mini as the device is still in its early release stages.
Me: You're telling me that Starlink put in the spec sheet that you can use a "100W, 20V/5A MINIMUM (WITH STARLINK USB-C TO BARREL JACK CABLE ACCESSORY)" but you haven't invented it yet and if it did exist, you don't know if it would work?
Support: As of now the mini is still in its early release period so everything is not going to be fully released yet until the full release has been initiated.
Then they closed the ticket.
