STARLINK LEAVES AUSTRALIA’S NBN IN THE DUST! Elon: “Starlink's giant latency advantage is the real killer.” Starlink is crushing Australia’s $70 billion National Broadband Network (NBN)! • Blazing Fast: Starlink hits 470 Mbps peak speeds, making NBN’s 111 Mbps look like dial-up. • Always On Top: Even during rush hours, Starlink averages 165.5 Mbps—NBN can’t keep up. • Latency Legend: Starlink’s 29.8 ms latency makes gaming and calls seamless, while NBN users endure a painful 664.9 ms lag. The future of the internet isn’t grounded—it’s orbiting! Source: @SawyerMerritt, @elonmusk
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
To clarify, Starlink consistently outperforms NBNs Skymuster satellite broadband service, but not its fixed line service (which runs a mixture of optical and copper cables) the comparison was done be ACCC and you can view the full report here accc.gov.au/system/files/m…

Despite challenges, the overall satcom market had around 10% growth in capacity revenue in 2023, with Starlink’s acceleration and a continued surge in backhaul demand being the primary drivers. How will these trends impact the satcom market in 2024? bit.ly/4bcq3Np
