Starlink residential service versus Roam

What the residential page says about home

The residential page's own title line is Starlink | Residential, and its description is Fast, reliable home internet. The plan-price heading on that page is Stream, work from home, game & more. Read those lines as a home product. They are not a Roam trip, and they are not a fiber drop.

The same page includes a Starlink V5 block titled for reliable home internet. That block says the kit is currently available in select areas, and it uses the words speeds up to 375+ Mbps. Select areas is already a limit on the kit. The up-to line is not the speed a specific address will receive, and this guide does not treat it as a promise. Another block on the page says Starlink delivers connectivity across 160+ countries, territories, and other markets. A country list is not an address order.

What the Roam page says about being on the go

The Roam page uses the headline Fast, reliable internet on the go and the section title Internet for travel, road trips, and commutes. Its travel line says to bring internet while traveling anywhere in over 160+ countries, territories, and other markets. It also names camping in remote areas, and boating in territorial and inland waterways with optional open-ocean coverage. The travel page at Starlink internet for travel says to stay connected while traveling, camping, and boating with Starlink Roam, and it includes a sentence about traveling anywhere in the United States and in other countries. That United States sentence is still not an order for a street address.

The Roam page says in-motion use is supported with Roam service plans in select areas. Select areas is the page's own limit. It does not mean every road, camp, or dock can use the service, and it does not turn a residential home plan into a travel plan. This guide does not turn customer stories on those pages into a list of cities or states.

Country availability is not an address order

Starlink's United States residential comparison page says fast, reliable internet available everywhere in the United States, and its coverage cell says Available Everywhere in USA. Those are marketing lines on a comparison page. The residential page still starts an order with an address. Using the country line, or the United States line, as a substitute would mark homes as orderable without the check the product flow asks for.

The same comparison page prints average download figures for Starlink and for other technologies. Those figures are table copy. They are not a measurement at a house, and this guide does not republish them as the speed an address will get. A waitlist, a rejection, or a blocked sky can still apply after a country flag looks open.

• Use the residential page when the product you want is home internet at a service address.
• Use the Roam page when the product you want is internet on the go for travel, camping, or boating.
• Enter the service address. A country or United States sentence is not that address.
• Keep any up-to speed line as page copy, not as the result at the address.

A clear view of the sky stays part of installation

Starlink's residential installation page still tells you to use the app to find a location with a clear view of the sky, and it describes a user terminal searching for satellites. That step applies to the kit at the premises. A Roam setup at a campsite, a vehicle, or a dock does not remove it. Trees, roof shape, and horizon can still block the path.

Illustration only: the United States comparison line says available everywhere, and one address in the United States cannot order or cannot see enough sky. The marketing line can stay on the page. That address still has no completed install. InternetService.ai can take you to an address check and a plan list. This guide does not add a Starlink checkout URL.
