Slow Rural Internet? This is the fix! Everything you need to know about Starlink!

What happens here

Before testing Starlink, the presenter performs a speed test using his previous internet provider, CenturyLink. The results show a very slow download speed of 4 Mbps and an upload speed of 0.3 Mbps. He then switches to the Starlink network and runs another speed test. This time, the download speed reaches an impressive 130 Mbps, with an upload speed of 30 Mbps. This represents a 25-26 fold increase in speed, making it suitable for 4K video streaming, live streaming, and other high-bandwidth activities previously impossible in his rural location.

Goal: Perform speed tests to compare the performance of the old internet service with Starlink.
