Starlink Mini Review: Is It Worth It? 🌐

I just picked up the Starlink Mini, and in this video I’ll unbox it, set it up, test real-world speeds, and see how it performs deep in the forest with zero cell signal. I’ll also cover costs, plans, accessories, and whether the Starlink Mini is actually worth it in 2025. We’ve been using Starlink on our off-grid homestead for over 4 years, but this is my first time testing the new portable Starlink Mini. Can this smaller dish deliver the same performance as the full-size system? Let’s find out — including a Starlink Mini gaming test, forest internet test, and a full breakdown of real power draw and speed results.
