Starlink Speed Update

The first half of the year was a good one for Musk's satellite internet service. According to the latest quarterly report from the internet speed measurement company, Starlink slowed down as the service gained in popularity. Ziff Davis is the parent company of the two websites. Canada is one of the tracks in every country. The U. S. Starlink's median download speeds have dropped over the last year. You don't want to see that. The drops ranged from 9 percent to 54 percent, but the news is not all bad for Musk and his satellite internet project. Starlink users in the U have the median download speed.  The average person's daily internet diet is around 60Mbps, which is more than enough for its lowest point in the last year.

 It is a good deal lower than the 90Mbps figure that was recorded in June. The U. S. New Zealand and France recorded median internet speeds of around 100Mbps, an excellent figure by satellite internet standards. The service is likely buckled under the pressure of a user base that's getting bigger over time, as noted in the report. Starlink started providing service on Royal Caribbean cruise ships in May. A bunch of users reported surprise price drops back in August, which could possibly account for the increase in subscribers. T-Mobile customers will be able to connect to Starlink's satellites via their mobile devices in late 2023, putting the system under even more stress. It will be one of Musk's most successful ventures if Starlink can maintain decent speeds.
