Speedtest releases Starlink network speed test report

Ookla, the parent company of the well-known speed test software Speedtest, recently released a Starlink speed test report. The report shows that the Internet download and upload speeds provided by Starlink are sometimes faster or slower than the median of the same level of broadband. Except for one area, Starlink's latency is higher than broadband.

Starlink began providing test services to users in October last year. The Speedtest results disclosed by Starlink to the FCC are encouraging: Starlink achieved a download rate of 102 to 103 Mbps, an upload rate of 40 to 42 Mbps, and a latency of 18 to 19 ms, which is comparable to terrestrial Internet services.

According to Ookla's report, Starlink's median download speeds in the United States range from 40.36 Mbps to 93.09 Mbps. Ookla said: "Network latency has consistently observed Starlink median latency values ​​from 31 milliseconds (Kittitas County, Washington) to 88 milliseconds (Otsego County, Michigan). In the same area, this is 486% higher than traditional broadband.
