On average, the latency of Starlink satellite Internet is 40-50 milliseconds. With such a ping, users should not have any special problems and this is quite a good indicator, especially for a provider operating in test mode. Journalists from the FreeNews publication noted that the characteristics of the Starking system are much better than those of the HughesNet satellite provider. For comparison, this provider provides users with a download speed of 25 Megabits/s, and uploads - up to 3 Megabits/s. At the same time, the latency sometimes reaches 500 milliseconds, and the coverage area is much smaller than that of Elon Musk's brainchild.
When will Starlink launch?
According to Starlink representatives, the full operation of satellite venezuela number data Internet is planned for 2021. By this time, there will be even more Internet satellites in orbit around our planet, which will increase the coverage area and data transfer speed. Ideally, the company wants to provide data transfer speeds of up to 1 gigabit/s (120 Megabytes/s). And all this for $ 100 per month. Some Reddit users reported that at this time they are paying providers $ 150 per month for more modest indicators. And they are already quite ready to become customers of the Starlink provider.
Elon Musk and his large team have a lot of work to do by 2021. They need to launch several hundred more satellites into low-Earth orbit, because there should be 12,000 of them in total. The satellites need to be improved — at the moment, the company is trying to make them not glow in the sky. And all because their glow prevents astronomers from studying distant planets. In addition to all this, something needs to be done with ground stations to receive signals, because they are still very expensive.
