  • internet speed;

  • presence of interference;

  • connection quality.

Does Starlink 3G work without power?

Yes, Starlink can operate without electricity, if you use:

  • charging station;

  • generator;

  • battery with inverter.

Energy consumption:

  • on average 50–75 W;

  • at peak moments - up to 100 W.

This allows Starlink to be used even during extended blackouts.

What is the speed of Starlink 3G in Ukraine?

In real-world conditions, users receive:

  • download: 100–250 Mbps;

  • upload: 15–40 Mbps;

  • ping: 20–40 ms.

This is more than enough for:

  • work;

  • video communications;

  • online learning;

  • streaming;

  • games.
