Can Starlink be used for online gaming?

NBN Fixed Wireless Vs Starlink Gaming

Yes, you can game on Starlink. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

1. Latency: Starlink’s latency is generally lower than traditional satellite internet, typically around 20-40 milliseconds, but it can occasionally spike higher. For most games, especially those that aren’t heavily dependent on real-time reactions (like strategy games or role-playing games), this latency is acceptable. However, for competitive first-person shooters or other fast-paced online games, this could be a potential issue.

2. Bandwidth: Starlink offers ample bandwidth, often providing download speeds between 50-300 Mbps, which is more than sufficient for gaming. Upload speeds, which are also important for gaming, are typically around 10-40 Mbps.

3. Data Usage: Online gaming doesn’t use a lot of data compared to streaming or downloading games, so you shouldn’t run into data caps or throttling issues. However, downloading games and updates can consume significant data. Starlink offers Unlimited Data, so there are no limitations on Starlink vs NBN that might have data caps.

Overall, for most casual and many competitive gamers, Starlink provides a viable internet solution, especially in areas where traditional broadband services are unavailable or unreliable. If you are on NBN Fixed Wireless or Satelitte, then Starlink is a perfect solution for you and can help improve your online gaming experience.

The Process

Site Survey

Before installing Starlink or requesting a service, we will assess your site to ensure optimal performance. This assessment can be conducted remotely or in person, depending on your location and potential obstacles. Our goal is to confirm that Starlink is the best solution for you and that your location will support a reliable Starlink connection.

Finalise Order

After completing the site survey, we will provide you with a final order detailing the installation process, core components, and any additional parts that may be needed. Your approval of this order is required for us to proceed with the installation.

Equipment Order

Once your order is approved and the initial payment is received, we will purchase any additional parts needed. If you haven't done so already, this is the time to place your order for the Starlink equipment and service.

Installation

After all parts have been received and you have your Starlink equipment, we will schedule a date for your installation.

Our Reviews

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.

John Dixon | Seaspray

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.
