How Starlink works
Starlink is a satellite internet service operated by SpaceX. A small dish on your roof, in your garden or on your camper van connects to satellites flying in low Earth orbit at roughly 480 to 550 km. Because they fly so low, the delay is typically 20 to 50 milliseconds, similar to DSL and far lower than classic satellite internet from 36,000 km.
In October 2026 around 11,000 Starlink satellites were operational, and Starlink had more than 12 million customers worldwide as of June 2026. Starlink is a strong option wherever fibre, cable or good 5G is not available: in rural homes, camper vans, boats and holiday homes.
