Hello all, I'm looking to rent a mini starlink some time soon.

Context: I was recently from Siguijor and mobile data is very unreliable even if you're on the main road and in major towns (like San Juan)

I work remotely so it was a struggle. The only times I could get work done was in some hotels or cafes that offered starlink wifi.

By the way, I have both Globe and Smart so I switch, whichever works better, and sadly, both didn't get much signal. I would say Globe reception is a bit better.

In other places like Boracay or Siargao, I could move anywhere and anytime, then sit down somewhere and work with just my hotspot.

I will return in a few months to Siquijor. Is it worth it to get a rental? It seems like 1k per day on FB marketplace.

I saw on YT, need powerbank but I can only bring small ones on the plane. Also wondering about the plan? Does starlink only have a monthly plan?

Thoughts, please? Or if anyone can recommend a more portable option?

Thank you very much!
