Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Sweden). But that’s true for everybody, thus it’s still useful for identifying general trends.Ī similar performance improvement has also been witnessed across other countries in Europe, although some did report flat or negative performance trends (e.g. We should add that web-based speed testing like this does have its limits, not least because it can easily be affected by all sorts of complex issues, such as slow home Wi-Fi, limitations of the tester itself and home network congestion. the target audience), where most fixed line and mobile ( 4G / 5G) alternatives will often be much slower. Nevertheless, the speeds consumers get from the service are nothing to sniff at, particularly if you live in a poorly served rural area (i.e. Starlink’s UK Broadband Speeds Q4 2021 to Q4 2022 The exception is latency, which has declined from consistently hovering around 36-39ms to averaging 53ms. The good news is that Starlink’s performance in the UK has started to pick up again in Q4 2022, albeit only very gradually. Most countries showed between 10-20% slower speeds in Q4 2022 than what users experienced in Q4 2021 (19% slower in the UK). The latest data from Ookla continues to show that, year-over-year, median download speeds were still slower for Q4 2022 than Q4 2021, when there were fewer users on each network, but also fewer satellites and ground stations (adding the latter two tends to improve performance).
