Starlink vs NBN
Why is Starlink better than the NBN?
Why is Starlink better than the NBN Satellite (Skymuster / SkyMesh)
Skymesh Vs Starlink | Is Starlink better than NBN?
Starlink offers a a faster and much more reliable internet service because the Satellites are within lower orbit and there are more satellites compared to the NBN. The NBN Satellites (last time we heard, two satellites to service Australia) are higher in orbit, which means a longer distance to travel resulting in a longer response time (also known as latency).
Look at it this way, the NBN Satellites is a small 2 or 3 lane road with some traffic lights for multiple people resulting in lower speeds and response times. Starlink is a highway with 8, 10 and more lanes with no traffic lights resulting in faster speeds and response times.

Why is Starlink better than the NBN?
Starlink offers a faster and much more reliable internet service because the Satellites are within lower orbit and there are more satellites compared to the NBN. There are over 6,000 satellites world wide and constantly moving in low earth orbit! SpaceX is launching on average 60 new satellites a week!
The NBN Satellites are higher in orbit which means a longer distance to travel resulting in a longer response time (also known as latency). Also, there are fewer (last time we heard, only two satellites!) NBN Satellites which results in slower internet as every other user has to use the same bandwidth provided.
Upgrading to Starlink can service you better than NBN Fixed Wireless or Satellite!
Is Starlink better than NBN?
Depending on your NBN Technology available, Starlink can offer you a faster and much more reliable internet service.
Starlink offers a reliable internet service because the Satellites are within lower orbit and there are more satellites compared to the NBN.
For example, the NBN Satellites are higher in orbit which means a longer distance to travel resulting in a longer response time (also known as latency). Also, there are fewer NBN Satellites which results in slower internet as every other user has to use the same bandwidth provided.
