Yeah, I have no experience with Starlink, but all any ISP wants is that you pay your bill and don't make extra work for them. If there's nothing abnormal about the usage then I don't expect they would care.
That said, our company has Verizon cell phones, and when I looked into LTE devices for out-of-band management, it was not very expensive to add one to our account. I don't know anything about Starlink equipment, but you can get little industrial routers with a carrier approved LTE chipset and stick a SIM card in it. Depending on the temperature and moisture expected in that container, that might be a factor. I suppose it's easier to predict Starlink performance though. ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]> on behalf of Darin Steffl <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 31, 2026 11:41 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Starlink If you're low usage, they won't have a clue. Just get the cheapest 100 Mbps $55 plan if you want full speed. If you can get by with the standby for $10, try that.

I have a potential large customer that wants a stock of blades on site. But of course they don't want to pay for them until they use them. So I am thinking of outfitting an 8' or 10' shipping container with solar and starlink so I can have lights and camera inside and a camera outside. Place the container full of blades in their yard. Combo lock of some sort. They will be asked to text the serial number of the blade they take. The question is, I wonder how likely it would be for starlink to bust me for using a cheap residential account for this? Or would a 5G modem be a better solution? -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
