Starlink satellite Internet speed reached a record mark. This is reported by the WCCFTECH edition.
Speed measurement results shared a user from Germany. He published data obtained using the Ookla Speed Test service on Reddit. According to the information, during the first testing, the speed of downloading data reached 542 megabits per second, the download speed stopped by 38.8 megabits per second when delayed in nine milliseconds. An hour later, the user conducted a second test, according to the results of which the speed of downloading via the Internet Ilona Mask fixed on a record 560 megabit per second, but the delay increased to 13 milliseconds.

The debut group of Satellites of the Global Network Project Starlink was launched in May 2019. First of all, Starlink is focused on slightly populated areas with low coating network infrastructure.
In April, the first subscribers of the satellite Internet noticed the achievement of the maximum speed of the indicator in 200 megabits per second. In February, Ilon Mask promised that until the end of 2021, the speed Starlink would be enlarged twice as well.
