Starlink Outpaces Terrestrial Operators in Internet Speed Across Europe
The satellite service has become the leader in download speed and connection stability in 14 countries, including the United Kingdom
Starlink ranked first in data download speed and Consistent Quality in rural areas of the United Kingdom. The study showed that satellite internet outperformed terrestrial operators EE, Three, and Vodafone in these metrics.
Starlink's advantage was recorded in all 14 European countries where the study was conducted. This confirms the potential of satellite technologies for regions where the development of fiber-optic networks or mobile infrastructure is challenging.
The Consistent Quality metric assesses how reliably an internet connection handles everyday tasks. Unlike advertising claims about 'maximum speed,' this metric reflects the proportion of time the internet operates without failures or drops.
In rural areas of the United Kingdom, Starlink demonstrated the best results among all operators. Analysts note that satellite internet could become a solution for remote areas where traditional technologies do not provide sufficient coverage.
The Opensignal study covered user data from recent months. The results highlight the growing competitiveness of satellite providers in the telecom services market.
