'(Elon) Musk’s Starlink experiment is certainly fascinating and we applaud any effort to get better service for rural residents,' Ookla writes in the blog post. The company is also eyeing 1Gbps and then 10Gbps speeds once SpaceX has refined the technology and launched more satellites into orbit. Whether those speeds can be sustained in regular daily use is another matter, though.

For example, SpaceX plans on upgrading the service's download rates to 300Mbps later this year. However, the satellite internet service is promising it'll only get faster over time. Starlink is also still in beta, and thus a work in progress. In November, Ookla provided data to PCMag that showed rivals HughesNet and Viasat's Exede averaged 728ms and 643ms in latencies. Nevertheless, Starlink's latency rates are drastically better than other satellite internet providers. Who Needs Starlink Internet?
