Starlink Standby Mode Tested – Speeds, Costs & Theories

Starlink is officially ending free service pauses, replacing it with Starlink Standby Mode a new $5 per month plan. In this video, I walk through how standby mode works, test the speeds (spoiler: it’s slower than DSL), and share my theories on why Starlink is making this change. If you’ve ever paused your dish before, you’ll need to decide whether to switch to standby mode or cancel before September 13th. I also show the activation process step by step so you know exactly what to expect.
