SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service continues to expand its global footprint and improve performance metrics amid growing user demand. As of mid-2025, Starlink serves over 6 million customers across 140 countries, with a median peak-hour downlink speed of approximately 200 Mbps and median latency of 25.7 milliseconds in the United States. These latency figures are notably better than many terrestrial internet providers. Over the past year, Starlink added 42 new countries and 2.7 million active users, while maintaining or improving service quality despite increased network load. Concurrently, SpaceX confirmed the deployment of 24 new Starlink satellites launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base into sun-synchronous orbit on July 19, 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance network capacity, which has reached around 450 terabits per second cumulatively. In North America, Canadian carrier Rogers has introduced a direct-to-mobile satellite internet service targeting remote areas, marking the first such offering in Canada. Rogers plans to launch this cellular Starlink-based service officially later in 2025 with a monthly subscription fee of CAD 15, following a free beta period. Meanwhile, SpaceX is preparing to launch over 400 additional Starlink satellites toward Alaska to further boost internet connectivity in the region. Starlink also recently became available in Mexico, offering a 30-day free trial to new users. Despite these advances, analyses indicate that Starlink’s performance may degrade when subscriber density in a given area reaches approximately 419 customers, highlighting ongoing challenges in scaling satellite internet services.
