I just setup a wireless bridge this weekend for a farm that needed to stretch their starlink.
I found some interesting behaviour on start link..
Using the starlink in built speed test app I would easily get 150mbps
using the ookla [1] speed test on a desktop machine I'd get no more than 55mbps and on a mobile phone I'd consistently get 20mbps slower than the desktop.
ookla tells you where you're getting your speed test sent to but the starlink one doesn't... is it a speed test just to the satellite in LEO?

- chrisco255 4y agoI always use https://fast.com/ https://fast.com/ for speedtests, it's hosted by Netflix (I rarely use the Starlink app after initial setup). I checked just now and clocked 71 Mbps, 160 Mbps, and 120 Mbps on 3 different runs. Running the Starlink app, it's clocking 108 Mbps (within same range reported by Netflix). Just tried speedtest.net and clocked 152 Mbps. Sometimes speed can drop temporarily when satellites fall out of range, so I would try multiple times over a 2-3 minute window to get a more accurate average.
