Starlink $5 Standby Mode: From Mad to Thrilled! 🚀

I’ll be honest — when I first heard about Starlink’s new $5 Standby Mode plan, I thought it was just a money grab with them doing away with the free pause feature. Pay $5/month for “unlimited data” at throttled speeds? Sounded useless… until I actually tested it. Now, I think this might be one of the smartest, most affordable Starlink plans ever.
In this video, I put Starlink Standby Mode to the test so you know exactly what it can and can’t do. From FaceTime calls, YouTube streaming, web browsing, and even GPS navigation — I’ll show you the real results. Plus, I’ll share some must-have Starlink accessories that make the experience even better.
