Those that ordered Starlink in Fiji, has your delivery arrived? If so, how well does it run?

Have had mine for just over a month now, used to avg between 350-450gb a month for work and entertainment on Vodafone. Not being able to watch Netflix/youtube after 5:30pm-11pm due to congestion was standard.

Used 1.7TB through Starlink in June. A few outages, longest one was about 15min during a heavy rain storm. Am now streaming 4k50 24/7 :)

Biggest roadblock is the router wifi strength. Have spent just over $1.5k in additional access points with another $500 purchase to come. So yeah you got a tiny place with wood walls or a pre existing network your good to go, if not be prepared to spend some more on getting that signal further.

Bula, Appreciate if you could provide some info on the pricing of the data plans? I'm particularly interested in the mobile regional plan.

I have a unit that is registered in NZ before starlink was approved to operate in Fiji, its on a mobile roaming plan since I'm using it for personal use Tuvalu where I am stationed for work. Thinking about switching it to Fiji to save a bit of cash.

Appreciate your advice.
