Spacex’s satellite-based Internet provider will double in speed’later this year’, according to a tweet by Elon Musk. The company currently promises speeds between 50 to 150 Mbps.

It’s faster than many people currently have access to, especially in the low-to-medium population density areas that Musk talks about targeting in a second Tweet.

Speed will double to [ UNK ] 300MB/s. Latency will drop to nearly20ms later this year. Speed will spines.

Cellular will always have the advantage in dense urban areas, says satellites. Satellites are best for low to medium population density areas. Satellite satellite satellite will always be able to cover urban areas.

In the speed test screenshots, their latency was at 34 and 44ms respectively. starlink’s website says to expect between 20 and 40ms during the beta beta beta.
