It’s a bit more than the original estimate of 80 per month, however it’s easy to see why they are using this price point. This is according to a leak from beta tester emails. If they plan to offer 1 Gbps connections, that bandwidth just seems rather low given this is a global plan & there are 3 billion Internet users. If you want to pay for monthly internet, Starlink will cost you 99 per month. “Planning for StarLink StarLink India”, Presentation, ģ) Michael Sheetz, SpaceX’s Starlink internet service has more than 145,000 users so far, JAN 6 2022. Which sorta raises some questions, 12,000 is the size of the completed constellation & total available bandwidth at that time would be 12k20 240,000 Gbps. It is possible that after a number of years, Starlink will determine that limits or throttling is required to manage bandwidth. From a business perspective, it doesn’t make much sense to impose a data cap. The service is still expanding and competing for customers. S.Pekhterev “The bandwidth of the StarLink constellation and the assessment of its potential subscriber base in USA”, SatMagazine, November 2021, pp. In our opinion, Starlink will remain with data caps or limits for the time being. As indicated in (1), the capacity of one beam of the StarLink satellite is 720…850 Mbps, that is, 113…134 users when they consume 2 Tb.

This volume corresponds to a constant monthly download of 6.3 Mbps. One of the conditions for the last RDOF auction is the requirement to provide the subscriber with 2 TB of traffic per month. In total, each satellite, in accordance with StarLink recommendations, can serve up to 16 x 130 = 2080 subscribers to maintain the required level Quality of service.Īnother circumstance confirming “Thumb Rule” is follow. Thus, calculations show that to serve the specified number of users, StarLitnk satellites must use 16 beams.
Whether such speeds will be sustained with a much larger user base remains to be seen, but it's important to remember that the number of satellites continues to grow. Its several speed test result compilations have confirmed that globally, Starlink has surpassed broadband download speeds in most of the countries that it. Less satellites means less bandwidth to go around. Some pundits for more affordable broadband technologies see a lot of. (*) This % is calculated from the data on the number of satellites over the territory of the USA and Canada (=visible from GateWay in CONUS and Canada), given in article (1). This dispels initial concerns about Starlink's performance (e.g., legends that a single satellite would have a bandwidth of 1 Gbps). Based on Ookla data, SpaceX Starlink speeds for first quarter 2021 wouldn't have met requirements if the company's RDOF service began then. SpaceX founder Elon Musk at one point stated Starlink download speeds would be up.
