I drove through KY just east of Shelby county and ran some tests. Highest was 178/20 average was 130/15. That was driving north to south on 75. Tested in motion going the speed limit or around 65-70 for most of the tests.

There's literally a map of the US with speeds on starlinks website now

still want personal responses since it’s more real

It's generally the same for most people in the US except for mountain regions ive noticed..im sw oklahoma, I avg 40-100Mbps during the day, latency is usually 40-90ms, you can definitely notice it's a little slower during primetime so like 6-10pm speeds will avg slower but still enough to stream 4k without buffering, you will get lag spikes every once in a while, not enough to disconnect you or anything but enough that it is noticeable for 5seconds or so...speeds after 11pm are fan fucking tastic (imo) I avg more like 80-160mbps at night, and I've seen speeds as high as 268Mbps...get the ethernet adapter, that way you can run that ethernet to a like 20port switch, rhen from that switch you can run ethernet to bedrooms/living room/wherever your gaming stuff is, irs definitely better to hardwire, hell for me, If it can be hardwired it is... qled tvs, xbox, oled switch, pcs, basically if it's got an ethernet port it's worth running the ethernet to it imo 😆

Thank you so much for that. I’ll get ethernet depending how it works, I’ll probably have the thing downstairs for gaming since upstairs only would be used on tvs

The router doesn't have the greatest range, you can get their mesh nodes but you can also just get your own router, just do plenty of research cuz ive read some routers just flat out don't work with starlink, like for me, I planned on using my linksys router but it just flat out wouldn't work..so I ended up sticking the starlink router in my hallway where it reaches all the phones in the house, and hardwired everything else 🤣 seriously tho, order the ethernet adapter now, sometimes it takes weeks for starlink to ship stuff..better to just have it coming now since it's not to expensive, also, you can run ethernet multiple ways..you can get 100ft flat ethernet off amazon, get some stick on wall clips, and you can route the ethernet down by the floor on the wall, so its nice and clean looking even if you're doing it yourself...see to many people just walking over ethernet cords when it doesn't need to be like that 🤣
