Starlink Specifications

ENGLISH

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Starlink provides two-way satellite-based internet service (“Services”), receivable with a Starlink user terminal, Wi-Fi router, power supply and mount ("Starlink Kit” or “Kit”). The Starlink Kit and Services are novel, under development, and subject to change. Starlink performance goals will be amended by Starlink from time to time based on experience and innovation.

PERFORMANCE

  • Starlink users typically experience download speeds between 25 and 220 Mbps, with a majority of users experiencing speeds over 100 Mbps. Upload speeds are typically between 5 and 20 Mbps. Latency ranges between 25 and 60 ms on land, and 100+ ms in certain remote locations (e.g. Oceans, Islands, Antarctica, Alaska, Northern Canada, etc.). These speeds make Starlink suitable for streaming, video calls, online gaming, and other typical household internet use.
  • Stated speeds below and the uninterrupted use of the Services is not guaranteed. Actual speeds may be lower than expected speeds during times of high usage. Performance varies based on location, time of day and the precedence Starlink gives your data in the network based on your Service Plan. Please see our Fair Use Policy for more information on how Starlink treats Deprioritized, Residential, Roam, and Priority data and how that impacts your Services under each Plan. A description of the Service Plans can be found here.

*Customers in certain remote locations will experience higher latency (e.g. Oceans, Islands, Antarctica, Alaska, Northern Canada, etc.)

GENERAL EXCLUSIONS

At the time of delivery, the Starlink Kit should be able to connect customers to the Services and to remain intact and operable for a minimum of 12 or 24 months (see Starlink.com/legal/warranty) after delivery if installation instructions are followed, the Kit is carefully maintained, not subjected to physical damage, extreme weather conditions, or connected to aged or faulty personal devices, and if Services are used within Starlink’s coverage map. Customers must follow installation directions and connect the Starlink terminal directly to the mobile network equipment without any additional jumper cables, receptacles, or any other devices aimed at extending the reach of the link between the two components.

Various circumstances may affect the performance of Starlink Kits and Services, including, but not limited to: (a) failure to follow Starlink instructions; (b) installation environment; (c) angle and/or field of view of the dish; (d) weather; (e) quality of your personal devices; (f) interference by other devices; (g) proximity of other Starlink Kits; (h) quality, condition and positioning of the cables; (i) reliability of power from the grid or problems with customer’s electrical power; (j) improper tower grounding; (k) proximity or location of the customer premise equipment; (l) too many active or parallel network connections (m) fire, flood, wind, lightning, hurricanes, earthquake, or other acts of nature or God; (n) spills of food or liquids on Starlink Kit; (o) misuse, abuse, accident, vandalism, alteration, or neglect; and (p) normal wear and tear or deterioration.

Like other novel technology products, the Starlink Kit will eventually become technologically obsolete. From time to time, customers may need to purchase a newer model for optimal Services. Starlink may change these Starlink Specifications, the Starlink Kit (including delivered devices via software updates), Services, and Service Plans.

The Starlink Kit can and may be accessed by Starlink to perform support actions, request limited diagnostic information, monitor performance, and provide research for improvement purposes.

MARITIME FCC AUTHORIZATION NOTICE

Federal Communication Commission authorization to Starlink for in-motion services in the United States has been granted on a non-interference protected basis, i.e., unprotected basis with respect to operations in the 12.2-12.7 GHz band. Therefore, Starlink’s in-motion operations, including for vessels, must accept any interference received from both current and future services authorized in the band – even if such interference causes undesirable operations for Starlink Services and its customers. Starlink in-motion Services must not cause harmful interference to any authorized service in the band, whether licensed or not.
