Musk Touts Global 10 Gbps Starlink
"Starlink can now provide reliable 10 Gbps symmetric send/receive connectivity anywhere in the world," Musk wrote on X, quoting a Starlink post that said the company had delivered peak speeds of up to 10 Gbps symmetric in Utqiagvik, Alaska, the northernmost U.S. city, 320 miles above the Arctic Circle. Starlink said bonded gateways can provide up to 20 Gbps symmetric service for remote and extreme environments.
The claim follows Starlink’s rapid growth. The service has surpassed 12 million active users across more than 160 countries, up from 9 million users reported in 2025.
