Starlink offers several key benefits, primarily high-speed, low-latency internet access in remote and underserved areas where traditional broadband is unavailable. It achieves this through a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit, providing faster speeds and lower latency than traditional geostationary satellite internet. Other advantages include unlimited data, mobile internet options, and ease of setup.

Unlike traditional satellite internet, which often experiences significant delays due to the distance of geostationary satellites, Starlink's low Earth orbit satellites significantly reduce latency (delay). This makes real-time applications like video conferencing, online gaming, and even some business operations more feasible.
