    Paying for standard 3 and been switched to standard 4

    AI Highlights
    • - Starlink app shows I was switched from standard 3 max to standard four.
    • - I have a full-size standard 3 router and expect 200 MB/s for $120/mo.

    My Starlink app shows I've been switched from standard 3 max to standard four. From what I read, standard four only has 100 MB per second and it's made for mini routers.

    I have the full-size standard three router.

    You are supposed to get 200 MB per second. I have the full-size standard 3 router, and I should be getting the 200 MB per second when I pay $120 a month.

    Preferred solution: To standard three max since I’m paying 120 a month for it I don’t want standard for that’s made for mini routers. I got a full-size router and I should be getting what I pay for.

    Resolved: I cant Fully Access my Account to view contact and profife update

    • - Account mix-up caused suspension; a personal account opened.
    • - Login still links to old account; urgent resolution and full access for KIT4M0252****SX4
    Starlink - I cant Fully Access my Account to view contact and profife update
    Starlink - I cant Fully Access my Account to view contact and profife update - Image 2

    I am writing to request urgent help with accessing my Starlink account. My name is Sahr Gbetuwa Sandi from Sierra Leone, and my Starlink identifier is KIT4M0252****SX4.

    Over the past few months, when I purchased my Starlink and opened my account, I opened a corporate account instead of a personal account. In that note, I wasn't able to provide the document for verification, so my account was suspended. I waited for over 3 months to open a new account. While I was trying to open my new personal account, it was difficult for me, so I contacted the support team via ticket.

    We went back and forth, and then I was able to open my new personal account, and my account was restored. While creating my new account, unfortunately, I used the same details as the suspended account. When I established my new account, whenever I tried to log in, it took me back to my old suspended account. I contacted the support team again using the same ticket, demanding that they delete or remove my first suspended account so I can be directly accessing my new account, which the support staff agreed to and claimed to do so.

    But again, after the support staff had done so, when I accessed my account, I won't be able to have full access to view my profile and other user updates, which has been very worrisome to me because I need full access. When I try to get another ticket to communicate, it keeps saying I do not have permission to view this page. To me, it feels like the support staff deleted my new account instead of the old one. Now, I have subscribed to the internet, I have access to the internet, but I cannot have full access to my account.

    Please, I want this to be treated with urgency as I do not want to lose my account again and know the status of my account since it is running, as I want to make necessary updates. Thanks, Sahr Gbetuwa Sandi, Starlink identifier is KIT4M0252****SX4.

    Pros:
    • Internet mps in second to non thats for sure
    Cons:
    • Well lately the internet get slow even tho view is clear

    User's recommendation: I recommend the policy changes in openeng new account and let tick and message easily as lon as one has an acount with out logging in

    • - Move Starlink Rwanda account to the DRC; 3 months paid upfront.
    • - Balance 0.47 RWF ($0.03) remains; app shows 0 while 100 RWF payments fail.
    Starlink - Moving my account from one country to another

    Good day,

    It is really annoying me not to be able to move my account from Rwanda to the DRC where I live now. I paid my account in full for 3 months as per the rules and regulations of Starlink that I cannot move my account before I paid for 3 months, which I did without hesitating or complaining. For the last 5 months, there has been an outstanding amount of 0.47 RWF ($0.03). This is not my mistake; I have complied and paid everything to Starlink Rwanda. I have contacted the Starlink support on numerous occasions without the problem being resolved. On my Starlink app, it shows a zero balance, but when I pressed pay, it goes through on my bank account for RWF 100. I tried it 3 times.

    Can you please assist with this problem? I really think it's unfair that I am being punished for $0.03, which wasn't my fault. I have done all the payments as requested. I'm not stealing or trying to be dishonest in any way. I only want my account to be moved from Rwanda to the DRC.

    Regards,

    Paul van Jaarsveld

    Cons:
    • Only computer generated replies

    Preferred solution: Need someone to resolve the $0.03 problem. I paid Starlink in Rwanda in full and now I cant move it to another country which they say owe them RWF 0.47. They even tried to bill me RWF100 x 3. why are they trying to bully us.

    User's recommendation: Get someone in person to resolve the issue if the problem doesn’t go away.

    • - Installer couldn't fulfill the scheduled time because no one was in the area.
    • - $120 charged before service, with no return label or human support.
    Updated by user Dec 01, 2025

    I found a way: I had to be able to create a new ticket in my Starlink account. 3 words entered 60 times in a row until the 'bot' sent me to create a new ticket.

    3 Words: 'agent human escalate' - I typed this, pressing enter after each one; 60 times to create a new ticket. Finally: got to the new ticket area (New Ticket-Category-Billing) I typed in the Subject Line: "Unopened Kit charged after bot activation, need immediate RMA Label". In body of ticket I typed what explained my situation; keep it concise.

    24 hrs later I had the $ back & the prepaid Label. Thank you.

    Updated by user Dec 01, 2025

    Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund.

    Original review Nov 21, 2025
    Imagine how stupid this senior citizen now feels. I got the email for the StarLink being installed in my area and it was a better deal and I'd save $50 a month over Cox Internet.

    I ordered it after it checked my area. Installation was part of the deal so I felt it had installers in my area. I ordered it. After receipt I got an email to order installation.

    I did so. Then I'm contacted by an out of state installer who immediately says they cannot install in my chosen time (7am - noon) but they can come same day 1pm - 6pm). We agreed on this. Just an hour before they're supposed to be at my home, they sent a msg that they won't be coming.

    I txt them as to why. They had nobody coming to my area to install. I asked when. They said they'd let me know and they were hiring more people and maybe within a month.

    I told them thank you, and take me off the list. I had to have it sooner due to the 30 day thing to return. I setup the return and no label to return came to me. I checked the spam folder, too.

    I got the confirmation of the Order so it shouldn't go to spam, anyway. I went to my StarLink acct and say there was no label sent and no response. I engaged Grok-bot which misled me into reactivation (in order to cancel again) to get the label sent. I did as Grok said.

    It activated the subscription and I owed the first month right then and there. By end of day, they did take $120 out of my bank acct. I did everything I could to find a way to stop the process and in doing this realized StarLink had my money for a subscription not started, not taking out of box. No bytes and yet they took my money - which was supposed to be for my monthly beef subscription (which I had to put on hold because StarLink took the money).

    I realize much of this is automated, and Ai. I've left note after note in the ticket Grok-bot had me created. I go back and nobody has responded, 48+ hrs later. I feel like StarLink/SpaceX has created a system that cheats the stupid senior citizens.

    I need to get my money back, in full. I need the prepaid label to send back the unit; unopened or used. I need help and yet there is nobody to help; just automation that is cold, unfeeling, and inaccessible. I've tried the phone number only to have to leave a msg, twice.

    No response is forthcoming.

    Grok-bot keeps telling me the same thing over and over: to leave more notes in my ticket and that someone would see it but I've left a dozen or more 'notes' and I get no response. Grok-bot is useless.

    User's recommendation: Due diligence before proceeding......I didn't & I regret it......they took my money!

    So far, the service sucks. I have ordered a unit to be installed.

    I paid for the installation.

    You sent me a number to contact for installation, and they don't service Missouri. If I can't get the help I need, you can keep your dish, as I will not accept delivery, and I will require a refund for the installation.

    New customer that can't even get his dish shipping info

    AI Highlights
    • - Dish shipped on the 9th; installation date was changed from the 13th to the 12th.
    • - FedEx says the package wasn't handed over; label created only.

    Starlink said they shipped my dish on the 9th. They set up an installation for the 13th.

    On the 11th, the installer texted me and wanted to change the install to the 12th. I didn't even have the dish yet. I used the provided tracking number, and it still showed it was at Starlink in Texas. I tried to get hold of a human with no luck, but the not-so-smart AI said it had shipped.

    I called FedEx, and they said Starlink has not given them the package. They said Starlink created the label only. AI support said it would have a human call me. That never happened.

    At this point, I just want to cancel everything but can't get hold of a human to do that. AI sucks, and Starlink sucks. The website is no help either. I think a 10-year-old made the site.

    There is no USA support. Elon should fire anyone involved in the website creation (which was probably AI) and everyone involved in support.

    • Support totally sucks

    Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

    • - Satellite is installed.

    My satellite is installed. Starlink has misspelled my email therefore I am unable to access anything not even a service request.

    My acc # is DF-106665**-**017-41

    My email is xxxxxconstruction@***.com BUT starlink spelled it as xxxxxconstraction@***.com

    The word construction is obviously misspelled. Your customer service is nonexistent and tech support as well, they are in India and are curt and rude as well. I have no way to fix this since I have no access. Your site won't allow me in ANYWHERE.

    IF I don't get anyone to change my email you can be sure your satellite which is installed on my roof will be placed in the trash bin.

    I have had no help from anyone. MD
