A Starlink subscriber paid $85/month for two years and never opened the app after installation. A neighbor — a network engineer — pointed out he'd been running entirely on defaults: the default router name broadcasts his Starlink usage and serial number to anyone within a mile, merged 2.4GHz/5GHz bands keep devices off the optimal frequency, and a hidden debug page shows real-time satellite connections, latency, and obstruction data he never knew existed.
