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 database covering 124 countries and 100 sub-regions, plus a cost database with local-currency pricing, VAT adjustments, and affordability ratios. 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 — the same infrastructure that powers roughly 20% of all web traffic — and saturates your downlink and uplink in sequence. That gives you a realistic throughput number rather than a single-thread best case. 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?+
The most common causes are obstructions blocking the dish's sky view, high cell congestion during peak hours, suboptimal dish placement, or local weather conditions. Use our Obstruction Checker to photograph your sky view and identify blockages, then check our troubleshooting guide for dish repositioning tips.
How much does Starlink cost per month?+
Starlink Residential costs $120/month in the US, with hardware priced at $299. Prices vary by country and plan tier. The Priority plan costs $250/month for higher throughput priority, and the Roam plan starts at $150/month. Use our TCO Calculator to see your real 5-year total cost including hardware, power draw, taxes, and resale value.
Is Starlink available in my country?+
As of early 2026, Starlink is active in over 100 countries across six continents and continues expanding. SpaceX has launched over 6,000 LEO satellites to date. Our Coverage Map shows availability status for 124 countries, including waitlist regions and expected launch dates. You can also browse speed data by country and 100 regional pages to see what performance looks like in markets that are already live.
How does Starlink compare to fiber, 5G, and cable internet?+
Fiber and cable are usually faster and lower-latency where strong wired service is available. Fixed 5G varies with signal, tower capacity, and building conditions, while legacy geostationary satellite usually has much higher latency. Starlink's main advantage is reaching rural and remote addresses. Our ISP Comparison tool helps organize address-level tradeoffs, but current provider offers and local measurements should decide the comparison.
