Elon Musk-backed Starlink achieved median speed of 50Mbps in US and Canada, finds study

The study compared Starlink’s performance to fiber broadband and DSL networks in the US and Canada. It noted that even Starlink requires clear skies for the best connectivity.

A study has released Starlink’s performance data in the US and Canada in terms of speed, latency, data, accessibility, and cost. Starlink is currently available in beta in regions where it is available. Speedcheck organisation carried out tests where it found satellite-based Starlink broadband showed 50.5 Mbps download speed, 14 Mbps upload speed, and 52.5 ms latency. The US's median upload and download speeds were 13 Mbps and 50 Mbps, respectively, with 57ms latency. And the median download and upload speeds in Canada were 49 Mbps and 14 Mbps, respectively, with 52 ms latency.
