We’ve been putting Starlink through its paces for over a year now. Thousands of speed tests. Multiple firmware updates. A few gnarly storms. And one very bewildered squirrel that apparently…

Starlink speed is the question that keeps popping up before anyone pulls the trigger on SpaceX’s satellite internet. And honestly, who can blame them? Satellite internet has been painfully slow…

If you’ve caught wind of Starlink but can’t quite pin down what it is or how the whole thing actually works, you’re in good company. SpaceX’s satellite internet service has…
