Where will the terminal be used?
Location mode is the first filter because fixed and mobile service are not interchangeable.
Starlink plan decision tool
Choose the Starlink service that fits the way you operate.
Answer six practical questions. The result ranks a best match and two alternatives, then shows the reasons, cautions and catalog-backed cost where a current fixed-plan price exists.

How many people will share it?
This approximates simultaneous devices and sustained demand.
What matters most on the connection?
Choose the workload that would be hardest to compromise.
How should price affect the decision?
The quiz separates a low bill from a higher-capacity or priority service.
What happens if the connection slows down?
This distinguishes convenience from operational consequence.
Is power consumption a design constraint?
Portable and battery systems can change the best hardware and service family.
Decision context
Compare the runner-up plans before committing.
A strong recommendation is more useful when you can see what the alternatives trade away.
Residential 100 Mbps
A lower-cost fixed-location option for lighter household use where this tier is offered.
$55/month$1,009 first-year reference
Residential Max
The higher residential tier for heavier fixed-site use and the strongest available residential treatment.
$130/month$1,909 first-year reference
How the decision works
Six questions, four decision layers.
The quiz is a shortlist tool, not a disguised sales funnel. It evaluates where the terminal operates, expected load, price preference and operational constraints, then reads fixed-plan costs from the same catalog as the other TNET tools.
Service mode
Fixed address, seasonal travel, road use, coast or ocean.
Capacity need
People count and the workload that cannot be compromised.
Commercial fit
Low bill, balanced value or performance-first purchasing.
Constraints
Reliability consequence, mobility and off-grid power burden.
Practical guidance
What to check after the quiz
Fixed service
Confirm address eligibility, current equipment offer, shipping and tax. A higher residential tier only makes sense when the workload needs it.
Mobile service
Confirm geographic terms, in-motion rules, pause options and the exact hardware paired with the current market offer.
Priority service
Check the priority-data allowance and service terms instead of assuming that a higher price automatically guarantees every workload.
Maritime service
Validate the intended route, coverage, installation environment and hardware before treating any general price as applicable.

Questions about the plan recommendation
Yes. Fixed residential recommendations read from the shared connectivity catalog used by the cost calculator and ISP comparison. The catalog version and update date are shown on this page.
