Satellite Internet FAQ

Satellite Internet FAQ

Traditional GEO satellite internet, such as HughesNet and Viasat, sends data 22,000 miles to orbit, resulting in 600–800 ms latency. Starlink uses low-Earth orbit satellites, offering 50–200 Mbps download and 20–40 ms latency. HughesNet and Viasat impose data caps; Starlink does not. Weather can disrupt service, though Starlink dishes may include heaters to melt snow.

  • SpaceX stock falls 16.4%, erasing most IPO gains amid first bond sale
    June 22, 2026, 4:29 PM EDT. SpaceX shares dropped 16.4% on Monday, marking the biggest decline since its IPO on June 12 and extending a three-day losing streak. The stock is now 14% above its $135 IPO price, down from a peak near $225 that briefly made SpaceX the fourth-most-valuable public company. The selloff comes as SpaceX confirmed its first-ever bond offering aimed at repaying a bridge loan tied to CEO Elon Musk's recent acquisition of his xAI startup. Major banks including Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase are expected to manage the $20 billion bond deal. Investor concerns over rising interest costs and upcoming insider share unlocks, which could increase the stock float by about 900%, are also pressuring shares.
