FAQ's
What is Starlink?
Starlink is a satellite internet service that leverages a network of over 5,000 satellites orbiting at approximately 550 km above Earth. Unlike traditional satellite providers that operate in higher geostationary orbits (over 35,000 km), Starlink’s low-orbit satellites dramatically reduce latency and improve connection quality.
What does it do?
Starlink broadband, developed by SpaceX, is revolutionizing internet connectivity, especially for rural and remote areas. Utilizing a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to areas where traditional broadband is unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable.
What speed can I expect?
Starlink users can expect: Download speeds: 150 Mbps to 300 Mbps (with some users experiencing up to 300 Mbps) Upload speeds: 10 Mbps to 40 Mbps Latency: As low as 20 ms in optimal conditions These performance metrics rival or even surpass many DSL and fixed wireless options in underserved regions. Starlink is continuously upgrading its infrastructure, and speeds are expected to improve with the deployment of more satellites and the implementation of laser inter-satellite links (also known as space lasers), which enhance data routing and reduce dependency on ground stations
What is it good for?
1. Remote Work and Learning With the rise of hybrid and remote work, Starlink enables professionals and students to access reliable video conferencing, cloud apps, and large file transfers, even from remote cabins or rural homes. 2. Streaming and Entertainment Say goodbye to buffering.
