"Starlink is one of the best internet services for digital nomads who are always on the road and those who live in more rural areas, where internet access can be hard to come by. This is true even if the company has alienated some of its users recently. There are a lot of advantages to having a satellite internet service, but speed has always been a key concern for users."
"So, what speeds can a potential user expect? On its website, Starlink says that users can see anywhere between 45 and 280 Mbps, depending on the plan they are subscribed to. While real-world performance varies, Ookla's Speedtest data shows an average speed of 104.71 Mbps in 2025. And with Starlink set to get a big network upgrade, users might be getting even higher numbers in the near future."
Starlink provides satellite internet aimed at digital nomads and rural residents, offering plan speeds between 45 and 280 Mbps and an average measured speed of about 104.71 Mbps in 2025. Satellite connections generally have higher latency and can be slower than terrestrial cable, which makes them less suitable for some use cases. Performance depends heavily on location and time of day, with many users reaching advertised speeds during regular hours but seeing reliability drop to around 60% during peak demand. Starlink supplies an availability map showing expected speeds by address, and users report strong rural coverage and fewer outages.
