“Starlink for sale in Kenya! Note, buying a Starlink with global roaming allows you to travel almost anywhere,” Elon Musk announced, confirming that users in Kenya can now subscribe to the satellite internet provider created by his aerospace company SpaceX.
Starlink is a satellite-based broadband internet service that delivers high-speed internet connection of 50 Mbps to 200 Mbps with unlimited data access through its advanced network of satellites in the low earth orbit.
Compared to other Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that use gigabit and Digital subscriber line (DSL) networking technologies, Starlink has a low latency of less than 20 milliseconds, drawing the most out of the available gigabyte.
Latency is the time delay between the processing of data in a network. The lower the latency, as in Starlink, the faster the response. Today, internet speeds are everything when many companies and startups incorporate cloud-based systems that require high internet speeds to meet computation demands and real-time data management.
