What Is Starlink 

Starlink works through Low Earth Orbit Satellites which help the users connect with the internet and transmit data. One of the biggest appeals of Starlink is the speed and the unlimited data. Beyond that the users can easily access speeds of around 100 Mbps to 200Mbps. A certain priority plan further increases the possible speeds to 220 Mbps. Out of all satellite internet connectivity, providers the one from Starlink offers the lowest latency. Even in the international market, the residential plans start at Rs $120 per month.

Fiber Internet

Fiber internet uses fiber optic cables to transmit data. These cables consist of glass cables where a laser sends light pulses through a glass cable. It’s these light pulses that carry along the data. These types of internet are generally the most used to offer faster internet speeds at the most reasonable prices. Speed and value are two of the most profound aspects of such internet connection. 

One of the biggest disadvantages of the Fiber internet would be that its availability in rural areas is often pretty erratic. 

Speed Comparison 

Starlink cannot provide the speeds that Fiber technology is capable of; Starlink speeds top out at around 220 Mbps while the fiber technologies can offer speeds up to 8,000Mbps. So Starlink would not be able to beat the Fiber networks on the basis of speed
