What's high-speed? Would be nice to provide a number
- netllama 3y agowhatever elon says it is. or more accurately its inversely proportional to how oversold the region is. for much of the west coast, its very not good, especially at peak times.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoI'm curious what you call not good, though. <20Mbps? <10? Or 70? Does it still beat a 3 mile DSL run?
- EdwardMSmith 3y agoI have it at my cabin, and get anywhere between 100-200mb/s down and 10-20mb/s up. I’m in a discounted area and “only” pay $90 per month, so that probably has something to do with the speeds. I’m also fairly close to the downlink site - not sure if that has any effect. There are no other non-satellite options available.

If you have the option to choose another high speed internet provider (>50Mbps) that isn't Starlink, then Starlink probably isn't the right choice. For people who have no other choice, Starlink is a big improvement over traditional satellite internet.
