Starlink does not work like that of your general internet, the Starlink internet works through a network of satellites in the Low Earth orbit to provide the users with the internet signals.

The Starlink technology is quite different than the usual dish or direct TV set-up box units that are used for TV serials. The Starlink system does not use Geosynchronous or geostationary satellites that sit at a fixed point above the Earth. The Starlink system uses low earth orbit satellites which sit about 340 miles above the Earth’s Orbit. Such a distance further reduces the signal delay or latency, especially when compared to Direct Tv satellites which sit over 22,000 miles above the planet.

Performance And Speeds 

As per the tests conducted by a few of the users who have  opted for Starlink its performance was still fell short of the touted goal of 300mbps service. As per the test the users reported that the average download speed they could manage to get around were about 87 Mbps and it further went as low as 76 Mbps. Upload speed for the network were around 15 Mbps to 10mbps with a latency of only about 27ms to 41 ms. 

As per another review that was published by other users another fact became apparent. As per the review, Starlink Website warns that connection speeds can vary depending upon a bunch of factors. These include placement of your dish, and the number of other people using the service at the same time. And Also the chosen Activity. As per most of the reviews we went through it became apparent that the Starlink system is the go-to choice for users who reside in rural areas. And it’s in such rural areas that the internet connection makes sense.  But compared to normal fiber connectivity the broadband connection lacks at providing similar speed as to that of the broadband connections.
