Measurement guide
Starlink Speed by Country: a transparent comparison method
Quick answer:
This page no longer publishes an unsourced global leaderboard. It explains how to judge country-level evidence and how to measure the connection at your own address.
No unsourced country ranking
The table previously shown here mixed hardcoded performance figures with confident explanations for why countries ranked differently. Without a cited dataset and documented statistical method, neither the ranking nor those causal claims could be supported. They have been removed rather than replaced with another estimate.
If a country does not have a verifiable published distribution, the honest status is “no verified country benchmark yet.” You can still run a live test and build a baseline for the connection you actually use.
What comparable country data needs
- A named source and a link to the underlying report or dataset.
- A disclosed collection period so results from different network eras are not mixed.
- A clear definition of download, upload, latency, and the reported statistic.
- Sample coverage sufficient to describe more than a few volunteered addresses.
- Licensing or permission that allows the figures to be republished.
Keep measurements separate from explanations
A dataset may show that two measured distributions differ. It does not automatically prove the cause. Network load, routing, regulation, plan mix, test-device mix, Wi-Fi, weather, and sky view are possible factors that require separate evidence.
Responsible reporting labels those possibilities as hypotheses. It does not infer subscriber density, congestion, or gateway effects from a country's position in a table.
Build a baseline for your own connection
- Run the same test from the same device and network setup.
- Repeat at different times and keep timestamps with the results.
- Separate Wi-Fi runs from Ethernet runs.
- Record plan or equipment changes that can break comparability.
- Leave failed metrics blank instead of treating them as measured zeros.
Use country pages as navigation
The location directoryhelps you reach country and region pages, but it does not claim a measured performance layer. Confirm service eligibility and current plan terms on Starlink's official site, then use your saved measurements for performance decisions.
Don't just read — check your own setup.
Run a Starlink-focused speed test and compare download, upload, ping, and jitter against your real connection.

FAQ
Which country has the fastest Starlink?
We do not name a fastest country without a current, sourced distribution collected with a documented method. Unsourced averages and estimated leaderboards are not a reliable basis for that claim.
Why can Starlink performance differ between countries?
Spectrum rules, network routing, local infrastructure, subscriber demand, plans, device setup, Wi-Fi, weather, and sky view may all matter. A country table alone cannot prove which factor caused a difference.
Does Starlink work the same in every country?
Availability, plans, regulations, and local network conditions can differ. Check official Starlink information for the address and measure the installed connection rather than relying on a universal performance figure.
Is Starlink faster in one continent than another?
This page does not publish a continent ranking. A responsible comparison would need compatible sources, matching collection periods, disclosed samples, and the same statistical definitions.
Why is my result different from someone in another country?
The tests may differ in device, Wi-Fi, server path, time, plan, local traffic, or sky conditions. Compare repeat measurements from your own connection before drawing a conclusion.
How should country speed data be reported?
Name the source, collection period, methodology, sample coverage, statistic, and limitations. Separate measured data from hypotheses and do not turn missing measurements into zeros.
