New analysis from Ookla shows mixed results for SpaceX’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based Starlink services: A big jump in downlink speeds in the U.S. and Canada, tempered by a slowdown in the uplink.
Ookla reports that Starlink has boosted its median speed in the U.S. by nearly 40% compared to the first quarter of 2021 (from about 66 Mbps to nearly 91 Mbps), and increased its median downlink speed in Canada by around 60% (from about 62 Mbps to around 97 Mbps).
