5 Reasons Why Starlink Is Actually Better Than Regular Home Internet
Starlink, the satellite-based internet service from SpaceX, is quickly becoming a viable choice for those looking for high-speed internet. While satellite internet still falls behind fiber internet, which can reach speeds of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) to 10 Gbps, Starlink is still a worthwhile option. The roughly 8,000 Starlink satellites in orbit allow for download speeds of over 305 Megabits per second (Mbps), making it one of the best options around for those with limited access to high-speed internet.
Starlink Could Fail If It's Adopted Nationally
While figuring out the math in its Starlink Capacity Analysis report, the X-Labs team found that a large density of users in a given area would "saturate the network" so much, that Starlink would be unable to deliver a minimal upload speed threshold that meets the Federal Communications Commission's threshold for "broadband" service.
