I thought it was further out, too. But, Tuck seems to be getting service 100 km away from his registered address. If there isn't more info available in the next 24 hours, I plan to take a drive myself and see what happens when I get outside my cell.

You can move your service address, but you are not guaranteed to be able to “come back”, as your slot in the cell could then be filled by someone on the waiting list.
Otherwise, they would need to keep an amount of empty floating slots in every cell, which would be wasteful. I anticipate roaming to be a paid feature, at least for non-premium plans.

I asked starlink about temp service away from my registered location, they said
I have two options
1. formally change the service location (if approved, guaranteed to work, but
you aren't guaranteed to be able to change the service location back)
2. best effort, set it up and try it. Service may perfect, or may be worse (all
the way to non-existant) depending on how many other dishes are in use in the
area.
I've done some limited testing with my dish within about 15 miles of my
registered location (in both cases with less than optimal sky views) and it's
worked without a hitch. I plan to do a test further away this weekend (but in a
less populated area, so I have high hopes)

even if you are outside your official service cell. For those of us who
want to use Starlink on vacations or other trips, this is quite the
development.
