SpaceX recently launched (opens in new tab) 52 satellites from its California base.
Starlink had a median download speed of 138.12 Mbps, far greater than the 51.17 on offer from traditional internet service providers.įor Starlink customers that are seeing slower speeds, don't worry. Moving away from the U.S., in Australia, a country with middling internet infrastructure, Starlink greatly outperformed fixed internet. For rural communities, to get speeds that touch 100 Mbps is a great relief. That means Starlink's slowest speed is still more than double HughesNet and Viasat's median. Competitors HughesNet and Viasat had median download speeds of 19.30 and 18.75 Mbps respectively. Still, any dips in Starlink's performance should be viewed in context with the overall satellite internet market.
