A study by Ookla highlights that in 2024, low Earth orbit constellations, particularly Starlink, are pivotal for connectivity in Europe. Starlink's performance has improved due to recent satellite launches and investment in ground stations, allowing for expanded broadband access across the region. Key factors for Starlink's success include reduced latency, recovering download speeds, and concentrated adoption in rural areas. The service has shown improved quality of experience, particularly in video streaming and gaming, even as competition from fibre-to-the-home increases.
Starlink's success in Europe is driven by improved latency, recovering download speeds, and higher adoption in rural areas with lower fibre penetration.
Despite increasing competition from fibre-to-the-home, Starlink's expansion and performance enhancements have solidified its position as a competitive broadband service.
