To be more specific, the Starlink speed test reports the speeds between you and the Starlink gateway only. This is the true speed of your connection and only reports on the Starlink equipment speeds. Ookla measures the speeds between your device (laptop, console, etc.) and some other server out there in the Internet.

(Running a speed test would be meaningless, since both of the kids are watching YouTube at it's highest definition at the moment.) Last night, I participated in a 2 hour Zoom meeting. To me, this is one of the acid tests, since you have a video and audio stream going both in and out, and since the meeting is live, there is no opportunity for ...

Sep 14, 2021 · So there isn’t really a way to know for sure without asking Starlink directly, as there is nothing realized standardized here.

Sep 17, 2023 · With my SL router bypassed I just get the simple download speed test from the mobile app and compare that with the Ookla SpeedTest app results on the same mobile device. For some reason Ookla reports the speed as 3-6 times faster than the Starlink app does, and the Ookla test is definitely the one that's correct.

Dec 2, 2021 · My hourly speed test is equivalent to watching Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming service for around 3 minutes an hour. If the equivalent of me watching Netflix for 3 minutes out of every 60 minutes (or 1.2 hours a day) messes anyone else …

Honestly, if these speeds are just part of the 'alpha' test, a lot of rural internet providers are doomed and will go bankrupt fairly quickly. If Starlink rolls out a 100 / 10 service, there is a potential for 50 million customers in North America alone.

The Green Speedtest is between the Router and your Phone, not the internet. It tests the PHY-Rate or link speed. The blue is between your router and the Internet. And that the speed fluctuates is Normal for starlink and even cellular internet connections as well.
