Can Starlink be used for online gaming?

NBN Fixed Wireless Vs Starlink Gaming

Yes, you can absolutely game on Starlink, but there are a few important factors to consider:

  1. Latency: Starlink typically offers latency between 20-40 milliseconds, which is significantly lower than traditional satellite internet. This is suitable for most games, especially strategy or role-playing games that aren’t reliant on real-time reactions. However, for fast-paced, competitive games like first-person shooters, occasional latency spikes might affect performance. You can view Real Time Starlink Latency and Ping here.
  2. Bandwidth: Starlink provides download speeds ranging from 50-300 Mbps, which is more than enough for gaming. Upload speeds are generally between 10-40 Mbps, ensuring a smooth connection for online play and voice chat. You can view Real Time Starlink Download and Upload speeds here.
  3. Data Usage: While gaming itself doesn’t use much data compared to activities like streaming or downloading large files, downloading game updates can consume significant bandwidth. Fortunately, Starlink offers unlimited data, so you won’t face the data caps or throttling that can occur with NBN Fixed Wireless or Satellite services.

Overall, Starlink is a solid option for casual and even competitive gamers, particularly in areas where traditional broadband isn’t reliable. If you’re comparing it with NBN Fixed Wireless, Starlink is often the superior choice for gaming, offering better latency and download speeds, with no data restrictions to worry about. Not only that, but Starlink is more consistent for Speed and Latency compared to NBN which can be highly variable based on time of day.
Our Reviews

Cohen was great to deal with and, the whole experience was very easy and went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Cohen and would definitely use him again.
Naomi Bawden | The Summit Trafalgar
Cohen has been wonderful to work with, excellent communication and service. Never tried to sell things we didn't need, just listened to our concerns and helped us get what we needed. So glad we were able to find someone reliable and local to assist with our internet needs.

I could not speak more highly of Cohen, turning up on time(or earlier) for all appointments, and installing Starlink without any fuss. I would not hesitate to recommend Cohen should you require his great service.

Starlink Install Gippsland provided excellent service in installing my Starlink kit. They went out of there way to demonstrate the Starlink operation at my place before I committed to the purchase. I found them to be professional and thorough, throughout the entire process. 5 Stars to Cohen and his team.

From my initial contact with Cohen, he delivered what he promised. He installed it on time and the installation was faultless. The quote was spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and will get him to install an extender on my shed when it is completed.

Andrew Hutchins | Fish Creek
We were having issue with Telstra and Cohen came out and installed all our equipment & booster for studio in a timely & professional manner and guided us through the whole process ,would recommend him highly to anyone thinking about a Starlink setup..
Jenny Smith | Port Albert
I cannot rate Cohen highly enough. We have been experiencing difficulties with NBN reception for some time. After a recent long term power outage where we had no internet or mobile reception for 4 days I decided to ditch the NBN. I reached out to Cohen after completing a google search for installers of Starlink. The installation went smoothly, and I am now enjoying high speed internet without any issues. I will also maintain internet and mobile communications if there is another power outage as we can simply plug the modem into our generator and everything will be back on line.
