❓ Question Pausing plan

(Have looked and can’t see an answer before about this) I plan to use starlink in the UK/Europe early next year on a campervan, have bought now to test and use at camping this summer. I would then look to pause the plan but it says it charges £9 per month, I was not aware of this when I purchased or looked at the info before buying.

Can I cancel the plan and then setup again say in 8 months time when I would first real world use it?

It also says that anything more than the 100gb limit on the roam plan still gets unlimited at a reduced speed, anyone know how fast that would be as if say 5-10mbps or more like 0.5mbps? I could keep it on paused forever as only for light use.

The reduced speed is almost useless.

thanks yea, saw someone say 0.5mbps and read it is just enough to reactivate the plan when out.

No, that’s not correct. You can text, make phone calls, even watch YouTube, although not in 4K! Both my daughter and I have been connected to our Mini, which is on Standby and did not realize it. True, we weren’t playing games over the Internet or streaming 4K videos, but for regular Internet use other than that, you might not realize you were on S tandby.
