Starlink in Mexico had the fastest satellite internet in North America during Q1 2022 with a median download speed of 105.91 Mbps, followed by Starlink in Canada (97.40 Mbps) and the U.S. Starlink in Mexico was the fastest satellite provider in North America For many Starlink users, we suspect these changes are negligible. and from 51 ms to 55 ms in Canada during the past year. Median latency on Starlink marginally increased from 40 ms to 43 ms in the U.S.

(16.29 Mbps in Q1 2021 to 9.33 Mbps in Q1 2022) and at least 36% in Canada (16.69 Mbps to 10.70 Mbps) during the same time period. However, Speedtest Intelligence also showed that upload speeds for Starlink decreased at least 33% in the U.S. In Canada, Starlink’s download speed leapt ahead nearly 58% from 61.84 Mbps to 97.40 Mbps during the same time period. In the U.S., Starlink median download speeds improved roughly 38% from 65.72 Mbps in Q1 2021 to 90.55 Mbps in Q1 2022. and Canada, as did speeds for all fixed broadband providers combined. Speedtest Intelligence ® reveals that median download speeds for Starlink dramatically increased from Q1 2021 to Q1 2022 in the U.S. Starlink speeds increased nearly 58% in Canada and 38% in the U.S. We’re also examining how Starlink’s internet performance has changed over the past year in the United States and Canada.

Today we’re updating our ongoing series on satellite internet performance with data from Q1 2022 in Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America, including results from 10 additional countries. It’s been a year since we first examined SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet, which launched its public beta in November 2020.
