New verbiage has appeared in the FAQs for the Roam and Unlimited Roam plans. The just changed this recently to allow only 60 days of use at a time in foreign countries. Now they have added a limitation for coastal use - 5 consecutive and 60 days total per year. "Coastal" used to be vague enough that many areas (the Ditch, Inside Passage) were not considered coastal. They have also updated their coverage map to identify most of these areas as water. According the Youtube pundits, Starlink reps have been inconsistent, some saying that a marina for example is close enough to land, others saying if it shows up as water on their coverage map, that is coastal.
This has been the problem with Starlink from the beginning, plans change almost hourly, you have no idea when you buy the dish what you are going to be paying beyond the end of the month. I have the $50/m roam plan, it is plenty for what I do (weather and occasional browsing). Strictly read, the new rules will force me to the $250/m plan on a trip up the inland passage to Alaska.
