I'm in rural-ish southern NJ and just ordered one. No sign of a waitlist. It says "preparing order".

A little more information on this:

* There's no waitlist for Starlink for RVs service (jump the line)

* Costs as much as Residential + Portability add-on ($135/mo)

* After the first month, you can suspend/restore service at will (unclear if it's prorated or if you pay for a full month when you need any service; I'm betting the latter)

* You're always in deprioritized mode (in congested areas during peak time, your service is degraded compared to Residential customers)

I'm leaving next month for 3-4 months cross-country and then returning to a place with decent Comcast (a rental where I have no choice but to pay for Comcast), so this is perfect for me. I'll suspend service when I get home, and maybe pay for it if I do any short winter trips.
