Starlink is nearly twice as fast as it was two years ago, according to a new report from the speed test site Ookla. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Median download speeds from the satellite internet provider have steadily ticked up over the past few years, going from 53.95 megabits per second in 2022 to 104.71Mbps today. That’s an impressive feat considering Starlink added about 5 million customers over the same period and recently passed the 6 milli

Two years in, Threads is starting to look more and more like the most viable challenger to X. It passed 350 million monthly users earlier this year and Mark Zuckerberg has predicted it could be Meta's next billion-user app. But Threads still isn't sending much traffic to other websites, which could make the platform less appealing for creators, publishers and others whose businesses depend on non-Meta owned websites.

From Outer Space to Your Router: Here's How Satellite Internet Gets You Online

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-25 20:00:00

The satellite internet space has only gotten more competitive in recent years, thanks to the rise of Starlink. Now that Amazon's Project Kuiper has successfully launched LEO satellites to kick off its own service, we only expect the conversation to grow from here. Despite the popularity of Starlink and the growing power of its 7,000 satellites, satellite internet is generally considered a last resort for home internet, due to slower-than-average speeds and the steep costs of equipment.

Otherwise, I want a security camera to reliably record, be easy to use, last a long time on a charge, and not need a cloud subscription to work.
