Under optimal conditions, Starlink's satellite network can outpace 5G in terms of speed, yet 5G boasts significantly greater network capacity. Starlink's download speeds range from 50 Mbps to 250 Mbps—a notable achievement for satellite technology—while 5G speeds can vary from 50 Mbps to an impressive 2 Gbps. Is it possible to find a scenario where Starlink operates at 75 Mbps while a 5G connection lags at 50 Mbps? Certainly, but it is important to remember that internet connection speeds can greatly vary.

Kudos to Starlink for providing an exceptional satellite internet solution for many reasons: it requires no contractual commitment, offers higher speeds in some cases, and maintains simple pricing. However, unlike 5G, Starlink necessitates a clear view of the sky to function effectively. Additionally, 5G can support up to 1,000 times the network capacity of its predecessor, 4G.
