Well, considering I've been using Starlink since Jan. 2021, the upload speeds have been more than adequate for typical WFH video/audio calls.
The download speeds dramatically falling over the last year have been a major annoyance when it comes to updating games via Steam or stuff like Microsoft Flight Sim, but streaming video has been perfectly fine the whole time.
Seeing the speeds drop is a bit of a disappointment, but given the reliability of the connection versus our previous ISP, it's 100% worth it for now.
- belval 4y agoThanks! I've been wondering if exiling myself deep in Canada and using Starlink to be fully remote was viable. Do you notice any impact from the increase latency (compared to coax cable or fiber) in meetings/voice chat/video games or would it pass the blind test? Additional question, do you get any connection degradation in bad weather events (if you have them)? Things like snow and storms.
- fetus8 4y agoI don't notice any increase in latency in meetings or voice chat. I don't play any real online multiplayer games, but I did do some summoning in Elden Ring the other night and I didn't notice any lag or weirdness with the other players. We've noticed some slower speeds and satellite obstruction during heavy snow and super heavy intense thunderstorms, but otherwise it's been fine in most of the weather events we experience out on the eastern plains of Colorado.
