Do you have proof of that? I have proof they have never been preactivated. I'd like to learn if it's different elsewhere or elsewhen.

I have needed to activate and re-activate more than a 100 starlinks to date and it never was easy.

I’m confused. Upthread [1] you said you were trying to activate your second Starlink dish but now you claim to have activated more than 100 Starlinks ?

In these comments there is a distinction between between activating the private personal Starlink accounts of user morphle and activating the Starlink accounts of other people by the same person on behalf of a rural internet coöperative in other countries.

We also helped rural Spain, rural Ukraine and on other continents and islands with setting up optical mesh and satellite internet, most of which had Starlink links as backup.

If you buy the product direct, you get Internet out of the box.

The idea of activation only makes sense for transfers and buying at retail.
