In case you didn’t know, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has a satellite broadband service that’s called the Starlink. SpaceX has deployed over a thousand small satellites in low earth orbit which promises to provide high-speed internet access with significantly lower latency compared to existing satellite providers.
Starlink is currently running as a beta service in select markets. Beta users can expect speeds of 50Mbps to 150Mbps with latency of 20-40ms. That’s rather impressive as the latency of typical satellite broadband is around 500ms. There’s also no data caps during the beta program. Beta Starlink customers will receive a kit that consists of the Starlink receiver, wifi router, power supply, cables and mounting tripod. By default, the mounting tripod allows you to install it on the ground level but there are options for roof installation. As reported byStarlink Order page
