Why Western Australia performs this way
Western Australia performs better than the Australia average because its cells are generally less crowded and Starlink has more room to deliver peak throughput. Large remote coverage areas and lighter network load support strong statewide performance. The biggest driver is usually subscriber density rather than raw geography, especially in markets where rural demand is spread across wide cells. Relative to the national reference point of 154 Mbps down, 19 Mbps up, and 40 ms ping, Western Australia is a useful benchmark for how local density and terrain affect real household performance in 2026.
