Starlink Mini Kit offer

I received an offer of a Mini Kit for an additional $5 per month. Does anyone here use the Mini dish on standby mode? Trying to determine if it is worth it. It might come in handy on our camping trips.

i bought mini kit earlier this year for test and eval purposes. it worked great and i ended up pausing the subscription not to incur cost while not using. i was trying to transfer it to a buddy but was having issues, so decided to cancel to avoid the hassle. Then got notice of the $5/mo standby mode and did that until able to transfer it to buddy. it worked great.
if i had a camp or did regular trips like you mentioned, i'd definitely have kept it. i have a client that has "frick you" money and installed regular starlink dish at his vacation home so he has a true failover for internet.

So are you able to watch videos on standby mode, or is just for email and texting?

Testing pause mode it gets about 0.5kbps. Texting and wifi calls yes, video no

primary purpose of stanby mode is to keep you activation and allow the starlink to get it's updates
