Starlink Hits New Highs in the U.S.

Ookla Speedtest® data from the second half of 2025 indicates that Starlink dramatically  improved its download speed performance across all 50 states compared to the second half of 2024. In fact, Speedtest users on Starlink are now able to get median download speeds exceeding 100 Mbps in every state but Alaska. This is more than double the 23 states that recorded median download speeds exceeding 100 Mbps in the second half of 2024. In addition, Starlink also improved its download performance in the 25th percentile, or the bottom quarter of Speedtest users on Starlink. All but two states—Connecticut and Hawaii—saw an increase in their 25th percentile speeds. In the second half of 2024, eleven states—Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington—had 25th percentile speeds below 50 Mbps compared to the second half of 2025 when just two states—Alaska and Florida— had 25th percentile speeds below 50 Mbps. Latency also improved year-over-year. Starlink has said that its goal is to deliver satellite service with just 20 milliseconds (ms) median latency, and the company is making progress toward that goal. According to Speedtest data, the number of states where latency is under 40 ms increased from one (New Jersey) to 10 between 2H 2024 and 1H 2025. The states with the lowest median multi-server latency in the second half of 2025 were New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, and the District of Columbia, which all had median latencies of 37 ms.
