Starlink Experience

[ColoradoKampers]

Since my original post back in March, we recently turned the service back on for a month-long trip that included Gunnison, CO, Heber City, UT and some off-grid Colorado State Parks. I have to say, I'm totally pleased with the ease of set-up and performance. Even in what I'd call questionable treed areas, it performed flawlessly.

To answer your billing question. Each account has a fixed billing date - in our case it's the 7th of each month. When I restarted on June 3rd, they prorated a bill from the 3rd to the 7th ($15) and immediately enabled the service. Then on June 7th they sent me the full monthly bill of $150. To prevent further billing, beyond the 1 month period, you can cancel service as soon as you receive that 1 month bill and it will operate until the next cycle, in this case July 7th. Related to the "2 week" question. I've not tried turning it on, paying the prorated bill and then cancelling prior to the next billing period. My assumption is that you will always pay the $150/monthly, but I've not actually tried that scenario.
