Starlink Satellite Internet has enhanced its website with new features that benefit both prospective and existing customers. This innovation distinguishes Starlink from other satellite internet service providers by offering consumers real-time, accurate data on internet speeds.

On the updated coverage map, you can not only enter your address to check for service availability but also view real-time data on download and upload speeds, as well as latency. To access this information, navigate to the Starlink coverage map and locate the 'Availability' tab in the upper-left corner. Click on the drop-down arrow next to it, and you will find options to display 'Download Speed,' 'Upload Speed,' and 'Latency. The data is provided as a range.

For example, download speeds at several test addresses on a weekday morning (Eastern) showed Download speeds of 25 Mbps – 150+ Mbps, Upload Speeds of 5 Mbps – 25 Mbps, and Latency of 25 ms – 75 ms.

Overall, real-time internet speed tests are one click away after a browser search. These will show your current download, upload, and latency speeds. The tests don’t include the name of your ISP or your connection type. It’s generic, unbranded information. By adding speed information about its own satellite system to its map page, Starlink is serving customers and prospective customers better by being transparent about speeds, and using a branding opportunity to promote transparency.

Starlink speeds typically range from 30 Mbps – 220 Mbps with the highest-priced plans having top priority for faster speeds when congestion is high. Starlink offers Residential and Business plans as well Roaming and Maritime plans.

This information can help you plan the best use of your bandwidth for streaming, online meetings, and file uploads or downloads.
