Timeline for July 2026: the Standard kit for Roam is removed as a purchase option around July 1, then is orderable again at $349 by July 28.

What changed

On July 28, 2026, RV Mobile Internet reported that the Standard dish could be bought again with Roam plans, at $349. It had been removed as a direct purchase option for Roam on about July 1, 2026, less than a month earlier, per the same report.

Item Before (~Jul 1 to late Jul 2026) After (Jul 28, 2026)
Standard kit with a Roam plan Not offered $349
Mini kit with a Roam plan $199 cash $199 cash or $16 × 12

The report called it the “Standard 4X dish.” We use “Standard kit,” as elsewhere on this site.

Who it affected

  • New Roam customers who want the larger Standard dish for an RV, boat or seasonal site.
  • For the few weeks it was off sale, those customers’ only direct option for Roam was the Mini.
  • Residential customers were not affected; the Standard kit stayed available with home plans.

What it did to the cost

While the Standard kit was unavailable for Roam, the direct-purchase hardware cost for a new Roam customer was the Mini at $199. With the Standard kit back, the choice is again:

  • Mini: $199 (or $192 over 12 months). Year 1 with Roam 100GB at $55: $859.
  • Standard kit: $349. Year 1 with Roam 100GB: $1,009.

The Standard kit costs $150 more up front. This site doesn’t compare the two dishes’ performance or power use; it only shows the cost line. Over three years the gap stays $150, because neither kit has a monthly hardware charge when bought.

What stayed the same

  • The Standard kit’s $349 price, the same as with Residential plans.
  • Roam plan prices.
  • The 30-day return policy.

What to check yourself

  • At checkout, confirm which dishes are offered with the Roam plan you pick; the list changed twice in one month this summer.
  • Compare the two kits’ year-1 and year-3 totals in the calculator and see one-time costs in the equipment cost guide.

What we don’t know

  • Why the Standard kit was removed for Roam and then restored. Starlink did not say, and we don’t guess.
  • The exact date it came back; the report is dated July 28.
  • We could not open a capture of the order page from either date; this is as reported.
