My experience: This guide is based on Ian Collins’ own Starlink setup in rural Suffolk. Your results, plans and offers may differ.

The real-world result

My recorded test showed 359 Mbps download, 43 Mbps upload and 19 ms latency. I have also seen personal peaks of approximately 420 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload. These figures are evidence from my own correctly installed service, not a promise that every address will achieve the same result.

The Starlink app showed an unobstructed view of the sky and 100% ping success during the recorded period. Those details matter: a speed figure without its installation context tells only part of the story.

What I learned

For streaming, video calls, gaming, uploads and several active devices, the result has been a dramatic improvement over my previous connection. The useful lesson is not to chase a headline number; it is to give the dish an unobstructed position, test on a stable local network and repeat checks at different times.

What I would do before copying this approach

Record download, upload, latency, packet loss and the test method. Test close to the router or over Ethernet before blaming the satellite connection for a Wi-Fi issue.

My practical advice

Keep a record of the circumstances behind each result: date and time, service plan, test app, device and whether the connection was wired or over Wi-Fi. Save the original screenshot alongside those notes. That makes later comparisons much more useful than a list of isolated download figures.

The figures in this article are my previously reported results. The original test date and full test method are not recorded here, so they should be read as an owner-reported example, not a dated benchmark or a live reading. The peak download and upload figures are separate observations and should not be assumed to come from the same test.

Start with the installation behind the result: my mast and mounting arrangement and why the clear sky view matters.
