A Starlink dish draws 50 to 75 watts around the clock. That's roughly $80 to $120 per year in electricity on top of the $120 monthly subscription.
Most users don't know the dish has a sleep schedule that turns it off overnight. Or that snow melt mode can double power consumption in winter if you don't configure it. Or that a setting called Bypass Mode lets you replace the stock router with one that actually covers your whole house.
A satellite internet technician who's installed over 400 Starlink systems across three states showed me 11 settings inside the Starlink app that change what the system costs you, how fast it runs, and what it does when you're not using it.
"People call Starlink slow. It's not slow. It's misconfigured. And every setting you need is already in the app." π§΅π
