Starlink Internet speed: how to test download and upload speed

 

Starlink speed

Starlink is a satellite internet provider enabling high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity across the globe.

Elon Musk promises to launch more satellites, install more ground stations, and improve speed, latency and uptime.

Starlink website claims that standard customers “can expect to see download speeds between 100 Mb/s to 200 Mb/s and latency as low as 20 ms in most locations.”

In reality, Starlink internet speed test reported by users ranges from 50 to 200 Mbps, and some of them randomly experience slower speeds due to network issues.

Starlink Business promises 150–500 Mbps speeds and more consistent service. But Starlink Business is much more expensive.

Starlink internet speeds are also known to fluctuate or drop out completely, depending on your location and to possible signal obstructions.

To check your average speed (download & upload), run a few speed tests from the Starlink App by selecting the "Speed" icon on the home screen.

while your Starlink is connected to the Starlink WiFi Router, you can check Starlink statistics like speed, outages, alerts, uptime, and latency. You can review stats through the Starlink App or through web browser  (192.168.100.1 or dishy.starlink.com).

You can also test your Starlink Internet speed using popular web services that provides free analysis of Internet access performance metrics:

If you experience Starlink slow speeds:

-     Check for outages, alerts or obstructions in the Starlink App.

-     Power cycle Starlink by unplugging from power and then plugging back in.  

-     Signal weakens the further you are from router: in the Starlink App, go to "Connected Devices" to view device signal strength.

-     Verify there is no damage to Starlink, cables, or connectors.

-     Disconnect all 3rd party (non-Starlink) hardware connected in your Starlink setup and run speed test again.
