Will Starlink get faster? What 26 new V3 satellites mean for your internet.

Starship's Flight 14 delivered 26 Starlink V3 satellites, adding roughly 26 terabits per second of capacity — about 1% of all the internet traffic in the world.

Starship's Flight 14 carried 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites into orbit, adding about 26 terabits per second of capacity to the network — roughly one percent of the entire world's total internet bandwidth. To see why that should boost speeds, it helps to know how satellite internet works: bandwidth is shared, so more satellites means less congestion. Areas crowded with dishes — the places where evening speeds dip — gain the most when fresh capacity arrives.

But better satellites only help if your dish has a clear view of the sky. Before blaming the network for slow speeds, open the Starlink app and run its obstruction checker to confirm trees, roofs, and walls are not in the way.
