So I can get higher internet from satellite than fiber from the city, eh?Pics related,>median DL speed across the entire network210Mbps (up from 140Mbps just 10 months ago)>median UL speed 30 Mbps (up from 20mbps)>median latency~20 ms (down from 30-40ms)
>>107005235This entirely depends on the fiber in your cityKind of of a rare case to have fiber but only have 100mbps-200mbps.That as the case 10 years ago if you had a really early fiber deployment but a weird case todayEither way I personally wouldn't trade a stable and quality 100mbps fiber connection for Starlink. If your internet is even lower then that then you can threaten them with switching over and maybe get a better connection.Starlink is otherwise extremely situational, it's fantastic compared to DSL or even some really shitty cable connectors and it works better the farther out you are from the city
>>107005337World Fiber speed average is ~200Mbps, US is ~220Mbps for Fiber speed avg. That means half of the fiber users are under that.
>>107005405Average real speed is different from what's available, when fiber first came to the aera, 100mbps was a max they where willing to giveIf you have 100mbps-200mbps as the highest teir package and is ludicrously expensive, that is kinda weird
>>107005235Fiber is cheaper and unaffected by weather.
>>107007815Ehh, each winter, the snow knocks over fiber pole and you're left without internet for a day or two.
>>107005235Fibre can do internet 25Gbit/s easely.
some people are shilling the soon-to-be-implemented v3 satellites which apparently would push the whole network closer to a whole gigabitbut too late, since my local got full fiber (and they didn't even notify me)
>>107005235Definitely not. I have Starlink at my holiday lodge, it's just awful desu. Not as bad in shit weather as people might suspect, but random drops etc are daily. Suddenly YouTube switches to 144p or something for 30 minutes.It just sucks... I'd prefer slower wired for consistency and latency.
>>107008496If you've having consistent problems like that, you either live in eskimo land or have a setup issue.
>>107008496>Suddenly YouTube switches to 144p or something for 30 minutes>holiday lodgeThats roaming plan, which is deprioritized. So when bandwidth crunch happens during peak usage hours, roaming plans suffer briefly. I had the same thing when I first got roaming. Went Residential for that specific reason.
>>107007839Never happened and I have fibre internet since 2017.Fibre cables are also underground here.
>>107005235>~20 mswelcome to the world of satellite communications.>>107005405>well.. my numbers suggest nobody is really utilizing fiber so they should give a south african retard money to use an inferior network with 20ms+ ping ratesclassic /g/
