![]() ![]() Starlink was fastest for median download speed in Portugal at 123.01 Mbps, the Netherlands (122.43 Mbps), Austria (112.01 Mbps), France (110.98 Mbps), and Belgium (110.40 Mbps). In contrast, fixed broadband only achieved median download speeds over 100 Mbps in six countries: Romania, Spain, Portugal, France, Hungary, and the Netherlands during Q2 2022. Speedtest Intelligence shows Starlink was fast in Europe during Q2 2022, outperforming fixed broadband median download speed in 16 countries and reached download speeds over 100 Mbps in 10 countries. Starlink outperformed fixed broadband average in 16 European countries had the lowest median latency among satellite providers at 48 ms. Latency was higher for every satellite provider compared to fixed broadband. Starlink in Mexico edged out fixed broadband providers 14.48 Mbps to 12.20 Mbps. In every country except Mexico, fixed broadband upload speeds were faster than satellite speeds. (150.12 Mbps) and Canada (106.41 Mbps) was faster than each country’s satellite providers. Starlink in Puerto Rico and Mexico was faster than their countries’ fixed broadband providers combined (74.80 Mbps and 45.50 Mbps, respectively), while fixed broadband in the U.S. Starlink in Puerto Rico had the fastest satellite internet in North America during Q2 2022 with a median download speed of 112.22 Mbps, followed by Starlink in Mexico (80.17 Mbps), Canada (75.73 Mbps), and the U.S. Starlink in Puerto Rico was the fastest satellite provider in North America ![]() For most users, we still suspect these dips are still worthwhile for areas that have no service, slow service, or few affordable options for fast internet. New Zealand was the outlier, with latency dropping 23 ms. Latency fared a little better with latency remaining relatively flat (though high when compared to fixed broadband) in most countries. Upload speeds also slowed on Starlink, with speeds decreasing across all of the countries we’ve tracked over the past year. However, Starlink still reached a median download speed of at least 60 Mbps in North America during Q2 2022, which is more than enough for at least one connected device to do most everything on the internet including streaming video, downloading games, and chatting on video with friends and family. Speedtest Intelligence ® reveals that median download speeds for Starlink fell across Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, the U.K, and the U.S., dropping between 9% and 54% from Q2 2021 to Q2 2022 as more users signed up for the service. ![]() Starlink speeds decreased in every country we surveyed over the past year as more users sign up for service ![]() We also examine how Starlink’s internet performance has changed over the past year in Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This analysis includes results from eight additional countries, two new providers, and expanded data for Starlink, HughesNet, and Viasat. Today, we have fresh data on satellite performance during Q2 2022 in Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America. We’ve seen Starlink launch in new locations across the world, and while some speeds have shown signs of slowing down from their initial launches, the newly announced T-Mobile partnership with Starlink could extend the benefit of satellite connections to the mobile market. Ookla® has covered SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet for over a year now with our ongoing series on satellite internet performance. ![]()
