![]() The striking feature of Starlink is that it provides competitive prices coupled with unlimited data. Starlink has numerous advantages over its legacy satellite counterparts. Comparing Starlink and Legacy Satellite Broadband Services We believe Starlink has a long way to go to be the real hero in this field. ![]() In this report, we have analyzed the performance of Starlink in terms of speed, latency, data, accessibility and cost. It has yet to prove its worth in the telecommunication space by providing fast, cheap and reliable services by competing with existing satellite companies, mobile and fixed network operators. Keep in mind that Starlink is just in the beta testing phase. One cannot rely on those satellite services for bandwidth and speed-hungry services like making video/conference calls or playing games requiring shorter latencies. Some satellite service providers do provide internet connectivity with decent speeds in those areas but with poor latency. Note: ** Indicates Starlink’s median test figures with maximum and minimum variations in the selected regions of the USĪ vast majority of the rural population in the US still lacks good quality broadband service, and options are very minimal to get a decent fixed broadband service like DSL, fiber or even cellular (4G/5G) connectivity. ![]() Table 3 - Starlink Median Tests Results of US Cities by Speedcheck ![]()
