Starlink's Impact on Rural Satellite Internet Access

/ 1 min read

🌌 Starlink revolutionizes satellite internet access for rural users. With the introduction of Starlink, satellite internet is becoming a viable option for many rural customers, offering competitive performance and pricing compared to traditional solutions like cellular and DSL. Unlike conventional satellite networks that rely on high-orbit satellites and limited ground stations, Starlink utilizes low Earth orbit satellites, allowing for faster and more localized service. However, users may face challenges with geolocation and IP address routing due to the network’s architecture, which can lead to issues with website access and compliance. Starlink also supports IPv6, enhancing its service capabilities.
