Which sources count

1. Starlink first. The US order lists (read with no address entered), the legal documents (Terms of Service, Referral Program Terms, Service Plan Descriptions, Specifications, Limited Warranty, Special Offers), help-center articles and kit spec sheets.
2. Other companies for their own numbers, for example the bandwidth a streaming or video-call service recommends, or the US average electricity price from the EIA.
3. Press reports last, only where Starlink publishes nothing, and always tagged “press report” beside the figure and in the page’s source list.

Each price, fee, speed or rule is stored with its link, Starlink’s own wording where it matters, and the day it was read. When two Starlink pages disagree, the page says so and follows the stricter reading.

What the dates on a page mean

• Facts checked is the earliest read date of any fact on that page, so it only moves when those facts have really been re-read.
• Updated moves when the content changes, not when the layout is tidied.
• Home prices are always a dated level from Starlink’s national list, never “the price” and never “from $X”, because prices vary by address.
• Every change spotted on Starlink’s pages is entered on the changelog with its date and source.

Writing, and AI help

Drafts on Which Starlink may be written with AI tools. Nothing goes live until every price, rule, quote, title and description on the page has been checked against the source it cites; what can’t be confirmed is removed or marked unverified. The site owner answers for everything published. Pages are written in plain US English, answer their question near the top, and stay on one topic.

No review or testing claims

No Starlink dish has been tested for this site, so no page calls anything “tested” or “reviewed”, and no speed results of our own are published. Kit details come from Starlink’s spec sheets. People, quotes, customer stories and credentials are never invented. If a dish is ever tested for the site, the page will say what was tested, where and when.

When a page says “wait”

Some readers are better off not buying yet: a fiber or cable build is due on their road within about a year, the dish is for a seasonal cabin or second home, the need is a single trip, event or storm season, fiber already works for them, or the order is for a business. The chooser gives them a “wait” answer, and every buying page shows a “who should wait” box before any referral button.

The site also stays away from pages pitched at people in financial hardship, low-income programs or seniors as a group, and from pages tied to a disaster.

Rules for referral buttons

• Buttons appear only on buying pages: one referral box at most per page (two on the home page), after the decision content and after the “who should wait” box.
• The disclosure sits in the same box as the button, before it, at normal text size.
• No button on a “wait” answer, on returns and warranty, on the changelog, or on any page about the site.
• No countdowns, urgency or promises. The reward is described the way Starlink describes it, and it depends on Starlink’s rules.
• Picks follow fit, and the reward is identical on every plan. How we make money covers the rest.

Fixing mistakes

Before each update, the facts on a page are re-read against their sources. A mistake of ours is fixed and entered on Corrections with the date, the old wording and the new. A change on Starlink’s side goes on the changelog instead.
