Thanks to everyone who responded to our recent email campaign about Starlink! We’ve had a lot of great questions about how it works for both home and RV use, and we’re here to answer them all.
Let's dive into the most common questions we received.
Can You Use Starlink for Both Home and RV?
Yes, but there are some important details to consider.
Starlink offers two distinct service options: one for stationary use (home) and another for on-the-go use (RV). Each service is tied to a specific antenna (dish), so if you want reliable internet both at home and in your RV, you might need two separate setups: one for each location.
Two Antennas: For Home and On the Road
Home Use: For home use, Starlink’s residential service offers fast, consistent internet for stationary setups. Once your dish is installed, you can enjoy uninterrupted connectivity from your permanent address.
RV Use: Starlink's RV plan offers flexibility for travelers, allowing you to access the internet wherever there is coverage. The RV antenna is designed to be mobile, so you can set it up at campsites or other temporary locations.
Can You Have Two Starlink Accounts?
Yes, you can have two Starlink accounts, one for your home and one for your RV. The home account will remain active year-round, while the RV account is designed to be more flexible. But do you really need two accounts? It depends on how often you travel.
If you're only on the road a few times a year, having a dedicated RV setup might seem unnecessary, especially if your home connection is sufficient for your needs. However, for those who spend significant time on the road, having separate home and RV accounts ensures you don’t have to move your equipment between locations, making it a convenient option.
Can You Pause Your Service When You're Not Traveling?
One of the standout features of Starlink's RV plan is its flexibility. Starlink RV service is offered on a month-to-month basis, which means you can pause and resume your service whenever you need it.
For RVers who only hit the road during certain seasons or months, this is a cost-effective solution. You can simply suspend your service when you’re not traveling and reactivate it when you need it again.
