Why You Shouldn’t Buy a Brand New Starlink Kit Right Now

Right now, Starlink is offering US customers an offer that is almost too good to be true. You can get a refurbished Gen 3 kit for a couple hundred dollars off the new price. Same warranty, same features, same hardware. In this video, I explain all the details, including a few caveats you should know about. I also explain how to get around some of those caveats so you can grab one of these refurbished kits before they are gone!

Great video! I'm surprised you don't have more subs given that awesome video you put out on the $120/90 price exploit.

I tried this and received my starlink system and as soon as I changed my service address to my current location, they sent an email and said that I was would be charged full price.

Hi! Why I can´t to order rent (mieten) Plan in Germany. It´s working in Switzerland, Italy and another Europes country. Why it is not working in Germany?

I'm not able to locate where I could get it. There's no menu-popup after I hover the pointer over the "service address" so I could click on the fake location. I guess Starlink got smart.

What about if you already own a Gen 2 and you want to upgrade to the Gen 3?

In my area in southern Arizona it’s 350 and it’s not refurb brand new.

@Starlink Hardware Great video, and thank you! When purchasing a refurbish kit it makes you pay $120.00 upfront for the monthly residential service as part of the checkout process. In the terms, it also says you have a 30 day trial. Now my question is, I don't plan on not activating or needing this for 3-5 month. I, just want to get this refurbish kit now so I can install it on my rig and then switch to roam when ready to travel. Now as soon as I check out and pay that first month $120.00 charge, is there an option to hold that first month I am ready to use/activate the dish? Wondering what happens to my 30 day trial and my first $120.00 paid at checkout if I don't plan on using it for a few months once it arrives...

Have you come across the use case of using it as home internet but also when you go camping? How would that work?

This was a great video!

The app states that if you order from one region and change the address they will bill you the difference. Has anyone tried this?

Didnt have the option to buy refurbished

[DozyAneke]

The workaround you talked about, does it apply to locations or countries outside of the United States, like in Africa or Nigeria?

I ordered and received a refurbished unit. Plugged it in and it works at my winter home, problem is i am going to summer home in a couple days. Any idea how or when i can Change to roam?

I can get it here in Central Arkansas. I've been on the fence about making the plunge this is pushing more towards getting it.

[peterasacker]

they fixed that discount loop hole plan

Is there a way to buy one as a backup unit in case mine fails
