Those are two places I am not familiar with.....Baja, or mainland?

More Starlink satellites. Is Starlink profitable? Will there be an IPO?
I'm skeptical.

Starlink is owned by spacex. Spacex is privately owned (musk and private equity).
Starlink is pricy in usa, starting at $120/month ($600+ for hardware)(and high usage subscriptions range up to $250 (1TB) and $500/month(2 TB)).
What is subscription plan cost in mexico for regular and high usage?
Woke!

I am using Starlink right now
The RV park I am staying at, Campestre Maranatha, uses several Starlink connections. The quality of the link has fluctuated a bit, but I am not sure
if it is due to variations in satellite service, or demand by campers using the system.
One of the Cafe employees said it was because of the strong winds lately, but that makes no sense to me. By the way, the cafe at the corner of the
camp does not use Starlink, and I have not been able to access the internet there for the last week. Connected, but no internet...that one may indeed
be linked to wind problems, but they are working on it!

Starlink and other internet systems require electricity. If the power is low, or fluctuates, that will affect the reception. Maybe that's what they
mean by "because of strong winds". CFE connections leave a lot to be desired and wind blowing the lines around, branches or palm fronds falling on
lines (CFE doesn't believe in preventive maintainance) can result in electric going in and out.

A typical solution is to use a 12v DC router to power the stuff.
Still use the grid to keep the battery full.
Because of the grid hick-ups it may be necessary to do intermitted battery charging.

Starlink needs power to the dish. 48volt poe supplied by the Starlink router. Not standard poe configuration but can be powered by batteries with a
little bit of hacking.

I'm not seeing an answer to your question.
I would consider getting one for here in Mexico, but i would like to carry it north when visiting the old country.

I can answer your question. I have the Mexican starlink roaming service that I use here in Bahia. When I get out of here in late June I take it with
me to San Diego and used it there for 3-1/2 months last year with no problems. Who knows what will happen this year but so far so good.
Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60
Outback charge controllers, X-240 Outback transformer for 240v from inverters, 6500 watt Kubota diesel generator.

Forget what I said about using Starlink!
There are Starlink devices in use at Campestre Maranatha in Chametla, but that was not the internet connection I was logged into.
I know this because for the last three days I have to use the internet at the Cafe Exquisito because their fiber optic connection was not knocked out
by the truck that took out most of the RV park service.
I'm done here anyway, headed back north tomorrow!
