Wi-Fi’s Wi-Fi is faster in the air on the ground

The number of Wi-Fi option is nearly twice the Wi-Fi option on the plane, according to A new report on the OCLA speed test site. (OKLA is owned by the mother company itself as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

Starlink speeds in the air faster than some Internet service providers On the ground. SPACEX satellite company recorded moderate download speeds of 152 megabytes and a 24 -megapixel download speed.

These download and download speeds were nearly twice that of any other option on the Internet on the plane, but the cumin was the place where the competition blew up. The time of Starlink on board the plane in just 44 mm came. It was the most arranged of MTN’s satellite communications, at 667 mm. With these types of numbers, you can a realistic online game or make a video call on a trip equipped with Starlink.

How can the equipped aircraft fly completely with competition? The answer lies in the unique Starlink fleet of 7000 satellites are low -Earth orbit. This works about 342 miles above the ground, compared to more than 22,000 miles for geographic satellites used by service providers such as Hughesnet and Viasat.

“This is just physics, isn’t it? You will have a time to move nearly a second when you are 22,000 miles for 300 miles.” “What was after that was to see data and airlines lined up just as you expect physics.”

Surprisingly, Starlink speeds were actually faster in the air than the ground. according to OKLA speed test results from the first quarter of 2025STARLINK users in the United States received moderate download speeds of 105 megabytes per second, 15 -megabyte loading speeds and 45 milliliters.

The main satellite Internet service providers, Hyuznit and ViasatI also recorded more speeds in the air than the ground, although The latest data from Owokla On these service providers from 2023.

According to the OKLA report, airlines in Hawaii and the time of Qatar Airways recorded the results of the speed test with Starlink in the first quarter of 2025. United Airways also Starlink started installing On its planes earlier this year, for the first time on some aircraft on May 15. Scandinavian Airlines Make a deal In January 2025 to fully equip his fleet with Starlink.
