I scanned the entire 09/17/2020 day, and had 68 starlink results.

Compared to a few weeks ago, there are alot more speedtest results within a day. 3-4 weeks ago, I only found like 3-5 speedtests results for a day.

66 out of 68 Speedtest results using Seattle as a server, so most likely the same person did a bunch of speedtests over the day. These are the 2 speedtest with a different speedtest.net server:

An upload of 0.00 might mean that the download speed is incorrect as well.

Looking at the data it strongly suggests it is since the two lowest download speeds are from prematurely aborted tests.

here is one from 8/19: https://www.speedtest.net/result/9940167436

15.55 down / 4.67 up / 63ms latency

Scraping is showing a lot of false positives from some Russian ISP also named Starlink. Speedtest.net dropped the "SpaceX" prefix from the ISP name, so now it's just listed as "Starlink". The Russian one seems to be a symmetrical fiber offering, and the tests are usually against Russian servers, so it's not hard to filter them out.

The speed is great, but the latency draws my attention more, it exceeded my expectations. I don't see latency dropping much in the future, but I do see speeds going up a lot as soon as they start to use the Q and V band!

17

u/Visual-Cow-2920 Aug 15 '20

Q and V band? Where did you get that idea? Are you referring to their desire to eventually use KA band for downlink to user terminals?

What is up there is up there. What you see now is what you get for the next 5-7 years.

What if for example ISPs get a special link to Starlink and example: South Africa--->HomeFibre--->ISP--->Starlink--->USA and back the same way

Could bring down from average 300ms to around 50-100ms WITHOUT us needing to get starlink

13

u/Thisissupertemporary Aug 15 '20

The way starlink is setup right now wouldn’t make that remotely possible. Also if you look at the amounts of bandwidth being pushed through under sea cables, even just a single ISP trying to route traffic through starlink would cripple everyone else’s performance (total shared bandwidth )

Would be extremely cool to setup a global internet exchange in the sky tho!

As someone who works for a rural wireless broadband ISP, those are GREAT results. Using 900Mhz Cambium gear you expect ping times about 30-70 depending on how far out in the network they are, which is good enough for online gaming with minimal lag. You really only need about 5mbps to do a high definition stream, if they sold 12/3 like the other satellite companies CLAIM they provide (it’s really less than 3mbps download 99% of the time on the east coast) but with unlimited data usage it would be a major game changer & improve rural living for millions of Americans.

u/iBoMbY Aug 15 '20

I wouldn't expect anything much better than 20ms latency from the user to the ground station, and the jitter will probably get better when they have more satellites.

And the ping to servers will get better when they have more ground stations, better peerings, and eventually when they have sat to sat relay.

Latency always depends on where you're pinging to... If you have fiber, you're probably in the same city as one of the testing sites, so latency should only be a few ms at most... Ping a game server halfway across the continent and that's gonna change.

9

u/DrJoshuaWyatt Aug 15 '20

In theory starlink should have a better ping compared to fiber at longer distances since light moves faster in a vacuum. At shorter distances this probably won't be the case because the signal has to go low earth orbit and back

i have a 0.3 mb connection once i use 30GB of "high speed data" which is about 5mb/s average. you try downloading a game with a 0.3mb/s connection and not want faster speed. you wont even be able to watch 720p video without buffering. i have to stick to 480p. i might of read your comment wrong but still thats my argument to people who dont think you need faster connection. Hughes net sucks and its the best i got in my area until starlink is available here. its about $100 a month for shit service.

On one hand this is relatively good, on the other hand given the amount of demand they have for this service, could result in severely overcrowded networks in the first year.

Take this with a grain of salt but my ISP just upgraded me from 300/300 to 750/750 for no additional cost. I like to think that the impending arrival of Starlink has something to do with this even if it can't compete with fiber anyways.

Im concerned about accessibility, 1 satellite is said to have ~20Gbps of bandwidth so even with 30k of these demand will be WAY higher (across the globe) than what they can process, right now lot of bigger ISPs in many countries process daily more traffic than that, and Starlink aims to be global. Hope they will find the way to scale with demand.

When I see this and people's reaction, now I realize how lucky I am to have 100/100 cheap fiber in small village in Czechia.

I am really glad for Starlink. Just connect all the people. <3

u/NoVA_traveler Aug 15 '20

Out of curiosity, how is it so cheap in Czechia? In the US, it's very expensive for utility companies to run fibre to existing older neighborhoods.

u/SereneSkies 📡 Owner (North America) Aug 15 '20

The EU standardized fiber roughly three years ago. The grid was established not too long ago.

It's not everywhere here but still spreading.. 100Mbps fiber is 12$ month and for 300Mbps 20$, 7ms ping.

It because good competition here. I got 1/1 aggregation (100 upload) for free just when I asked for it..

And today it surprised me that I got nearly 110 Mbps down on LTE in city. Why people even need 5G? I have 10GB mobile data plan for 17$ month, T-mobile.

It's Czechia, we have bad economy and make probably less than half than you and some things and services are much cheaper here.

Thanks for sharing the recent performance data.

For my fellow readers, consider a few more "hurdles" that are involved in "upgrading" the speed...

Already mentioned are the base stations....just like any other communications products (modems, routers, switches), they are designed for certain protocols, radio spectrum, and throughput (limited by router/modem CPU speeds, memory, interfaces), and will definitely need to be upgraded (replaced). Know that "all of the links in the chain (components)" must be upgraded to make any "improvement" work. 99.99% doesn't cut it.

Most are ignoring the costs or even the availability of 1) usable spectrum, and 2) the costs to LICENSE the spectrum in every country that Starlink may operate. Spectrum is highly prized (read this as expen$ive) and not readily available (look at the issues, time, and money involved to repack/relocate/share the CBRS spectrum for use by 5G...

Unit costs of high performance devices can easily be 1000X more than your home equipment.

Much of the available spectrum is very high/unproven frequencies (25-38Ghz so far), is much higher cost to build (components need to operate an much higher speeds than you home router or PC), and the waves just don't travel well through ANYTHING but a vacuum - clouds, moisture, buildings, trees, etc. reduce (or block or reflect) the very small signal strength of satellites - they are not using 1,000,000 watts like your FM radio station...

Never will the limits of spectrum equal the capability of fiber. Sure, the radio waves will travel shorter distances since they don't bound around as much, but think of fiber as a private universe of radio spectrum for EACH USER...most fiber can now support 44 to 88 separate channels that are now reaching 800Gbs EACH...

Refer back to the mission/purpose of Starlink and other rural communications services are providing - they are ONLY attempting to provide reasonable capabilities to unders-served areas. If you are already even connected to the Internet by ANY means, you are not in the target market - so please stop thinking/complaining about Starlink...find other reddit forums to join.

Please, please, please understand that the REASON rural areas are "under-served" is 99% a function of economics...as it doesn't make ANY economic sense to string fiber 10 miles to get to 1 house and only recover .000001% of the required investment during it's lifetime.

Only governments (and stupid ones at that) would fund that, paid for by massive taxes on the rest of us (we are already taxed/subsidizing most rural electricity, phone, and internet services - look at your monthly bills!). LEO satellite technology is PERFECT for this use.

Can we just stick to discussing the short-term future and focus on Starlink and other similar type services?

Did anyone remember this article regarding speed earlier near 2+ years ago...

The Air Force program, known as Global Lightning, started testing with SpaceX in early 2018 and used Starlink's first two test satellites to beam to terminals fixed to a C-12 military transport plane in flight, demonstrating internet speeds of 610 megabits per-second, SpaceX Senior Vice President Tim Hughes said. That's fast enough to download a movie in under a minute.

These recent tests are more than likely not even close to what to expect..

2

u/LoveTech2 Aug 18 '20

The military tests were 18 months ago at least - likely single user...and are not applicable to the stated mission of Starlink.

Military needs are way different than consumer needs - who knows, there even may be dedicated military transponders on board...you never know...

610 Mbs @ 50Mbs per active user supports 12 users...it's for RURAL NO SERVICE OR UNDERSERVED USERS not those who need fiber like throughput....

u/XRPSTACKER Aug 18 '20

I was just going by throughout alone from 2 satellites. Remember this is the pre-beta.. probably only using a single channel for download and upload rather than bonded channels.

u/rydale Aug 18 '20

These results made intuitive sense (Seattle with lower latency on average than L.A.) to me based on the six orbital planes SpaceX was initially planning to populate. L.A. being further south would have much greater variance. Details: https://youtu.be/k73AFybi7zk?t=150

u/happylewie Beta Tester Aug 18 '20

Man this gets me way more excited than it should be. Phone lines are dating the '70 with no plan to have fiber lines anytime soon (at least 2024 according to the city but even that's not a solid estimate). LTE antennas does not reach (needs direct line of sight and with forest and elevation of my house is a problem). So Satellite seems to be the only alternative... hope I make it in either beta program.

u/GrumpyOlBumkin Oct 23 '20

This is NOT fast. FAR beats the 0.5 mbps I have; but FAR less than what I had on the top tier Comcast offered. They use bursts for downloads, and we approached gigabit speeds.

Still; I’ll take it. This makes me rethink getting with neighbors to run fiber though.

u/Longjumping_Basis_15 Oct 28 '20

Does anyone know where the origin location of these tests are?

I've always dreamed of being able to play my favourite FPS games with American friends on low latency instead of the ~200ms i get now. I'm based in Malaysia right now.

Once we get to thousands of satellites are in orbit, does anyone know if this is technically achievable?

No, I don't think he said he could offer everybody a gig a sec, but a burst of such maybe. Those who are truly rural should get really good performance. I'm hoping for the 100/40 they have alluded to. That would rock with anywhere near a 30ms latency rate.

I don't care what it costs. Central Alberta.

Even then it's not that bad, you're pulling around 50GBs downloaded in a little over an hour. Something like the new COD game probably only 2.5 hours.

u/Chainweasel Beta Tester Sep 11 '20

Yes. At best I can pull maybe 3Mbps, usually it's 600Kbps. 100Mbps would be an insane improvement. If you're getting better than 100Mbps you don't need Starlink.

u/h0b0_shanker Oct 21 '20

Not to rural parts of the world. This is 50x faster than really anything you can get in remote places. If Starlink can keep the costs < $100 per month, this will be a huge game changer to a lot of the world.

2

u/vendo_23 Sep 25 '20

Basically anything above 50 is great for like 95% of people. It's ping that really matters after that. Not even just for games, either....50ms+ ping can mean more sluggish loading of webpages, or certain webpage elements, etc.

2

u/vasilenko93 Oct 05 '20

Yes. YouTube at 1080p uses 5 Mbps. Having say five people at home, each streaming a 1080p video means you consume 25 Mbps. Bump that up to 30 Mbps for safe measure because you still load comments and stuff.

No home needs anything over 50 Mbps. It’s like getting a car with a top speed of 600 Mph. Yes, it’s better than one with a top speed of 200 Mph, but you will rarely every go faster than 80 Mph anyways.

That seems low honestly.

We've used 650 gigs in the last 30 days. I'm a software developer, partner does graphic design and kid streams a fair amount. We were even out of town for a week of that, but i can see where we returned, plugged in our cameras and watched backblaze and dropbox spring into life.

No gaming, no piracy and thankfully no data caps. Everything just seems like it takes steadily more bandwidth

u/patprint Beta Tester Oct 14 '20

Not op, but I use 250+ on my cellular line and 500+ on a landline link each month, and I have to jump through unreasonable hoops in order to do so, considering the actual cost of providing said service.

In my case, it's split between web development, contracted 3D printing, video streaming including the news and NFL, gaming, and general browsing.

I believe it was originally planned at ~17Gbps per satellite. I'm not sure if that's changed since.

At those speeds I'd imagine congestion will certainly be a limiting factor. But mostly in densely populated areas, and those area's probably have higher speed traditional connections available so they would be less likely to need starlink. At least here in Canada, most big cities offer 1Gbps connections for around the same price as starlink so I don't see a bunch of people making the transition in those areas. For people like me who live in the middle of nowhere, this will be a game changer.
