On many occasions, when we hear about satellite internet, it is clear that It is a practically emergency solution, with a far-than-optimal speed and very high latencies, something that in the case of Starlink, the satellite internet system of the Hand of SpaceX, it becomes much more favorable.

As we can see in the graph below these lines, we ran into download speeds of 79. 5Mbps , while we have a upload speed of 13. 8Mbps , which, although it is not to rave, is a speed several times faster than that of the services it competes against.

In comparison, ViaSat is only capable of providing 3. 25 Upload Mbps and 25. 75 Mbps download , while that HughesNet is left with 2. 64 Mbps upload and 13. 84 Download Mbps. The comparisons are just as odious in terms of latency, because if we take into account the 42 ms average Starlink latency , HughesNet’s 728 ms latency is practically unbearable , especially in these times of online conferences.

SpaceX hopes to reduce the latency of your service to values ​​lower than 20 ms for the Summer is coming , although in itself the results that the current network shows are very promising.
