2022-06-06 10:00:20 Satellite Internet Starlink accelerated in the US to 301 Mbps. This speed is fixed when downloading data

A user from Wisconsin shared on the Reddit forum a Starlink network connection test made using the Ookla Speedtest tool. The data download speed from the Web was 301 Mbps, which is much more than the average in the Starlink network in the United States (105 Mbps as of the fourth quarter of 2021).

The result is not a record for the Starlink network as a whole (in May last year, Germany recorded a speed of 560 Mbps), but it is a record for the United States. It is important that the result is recorded in rural Wisconsin in the first place and was created in order to provide fast and inexpensive access to the Network for residents of remote areas and corners.
