Starlink now offers internet anywhere in the world – and we mean anywhere – for $200 a month. If you live in a van and work online, that’s pretty awesome.

People who live in vans, also known as #vanlifers, are pretty independent. But while you can carry enough food and water to survive in the deep, deep wilderness for a while, and solar power can charge your gear indefinitely in the right weather, for internet access you’re stuck in areas with cell coverage, which generally means populated areas. Satellite internet offers a way around this, and thanks to Starlink’s new global roaming service, that last limitation has been removed.

"Over the past three years, we've seen a huge increase in the number of lifers who need internet, or at least cell phone reception, while on the road," AJ Turner of Off Highway Van told Lifewire via email. "Always-on internet is a necessity for our customers, as most of them have busy professional lives, jobs, or businesses that require them to keep an eye on things on a regular basis. They can extend their weekends to longer weekends or even weeks at a time with this reliable cell phone or internet access."

Starlink has previously been available to RV users, as Starlink RV, via a $600 portable antenna or a $2,500 antenna that can be used on the road. The new part is that Starlink is now called Starlink Roam and is available globally for $200 a month and regionally for $150. If you never leave the US, you can use the cheaper version, but the global option is reasonably priced by comparison.
