Obstruction CheckerWhat Is SatSpeedCheck?
SatSpeedCheck is a free, independent toolkit built for people who use Starlink or are thinking about signing up. We run eight purpose-built tools that cover the full ownership lifecycle: a satellite speed test, an obstruction checker that reads a single sky photo, a 5-year total cost calculator, a head-to-head ISP comparison, an off-grid power sizer for RV, boat, and cabin setups, a plan picker quiz, a global coverage map, and a personal dashboard that logs every test you run.
According to Ookla 2025 Global Satellite Broadband Performance Report, the US median Starlink download was 129.61 Mbps in Q3 2025. This is an independent sample median, not a SatSpeedCheck measurement or a promise for any address.
On top of the tools, we maintain a speed hub with five dated, sourced country observations and a location directory, plus a country cost-planning directory and an editable quote worksheet. Everything is free and no account is required. Tool results stay in your browser, while speed-test traffic goes to Cloudflare and site pages load Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense.
How Our Starlink Speed Test Works
When you tap Test My Speed, the tool opens a connection to Cloudflare's global edge network and measures a download followed by sequential upload blocks. This measures browser throughput; it does not prove that your link is saturated. We also measure round-trip latency, which matters for video calls and gaming over satellite.
After the test finishes, your results are saved locally so you can track changes over time. If your speed looks low, the results page links directly to our obstruction checker and our troubleshooting guide so you can diagnose the issue in the same session.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SatSpeedCheck Starlink speed test work?+
Our speed test measures your Starlink connection's download speed, upload speed, and latency by sending a data stream to Cloudflare's nearest edge node. Results are saved locally so you can track changes over time.
What is a good Starlink speed in 2026?+
The US median Starlink download was 129.61 Mbps in Q3 2025, according to Ookla 2025 Global Satellite Broadband Performance Report. It is an independent sample median; your result can vary by address, cell load, sky view, weather, device, and time.
Why is my Starlink speed slower than expected?+
Possible causes include obstructions, congestion, Wi-Fi, other traffic, and weather. Compare repeated wired tests with the Starlink app's outage history. Our photo tool is only a placement aid; it cannot diagnose a slow connection.
How much does Starlink cost per month?+
Check official checkout for the price at your address. Our cost calculator uses unverified planning inputs, including $120/month and $599 hardware for its Residential example. These are assumptions, not current prices or a quote; resale is excluded from the total.
Is Starlink available in my country?+
Enter your address in Starlink's official availability checker for current eligibility and offers. Our location directory links to country and regional pages; the speed hub presents five dated, sourced country observations and guidance for measuring your own connection.
How does Starlink compare to fiber, 5G, and cable internet?+
Compare current offers and measured performance at your address. Our ISP Comparison tool helps organize address-level tradeoffs, but current provider offers and local measurements should decide the comparison.
