Satellite broadband has moved from a niche fallback to a mainstream connectivity option. Starlink now serves households in more than 140 countries. Yet most public assessments still look at satellite performance in isolation, through single speed tests or latency figures, rather than holding it to the same standards used for fibre, cable and DSL.

That gap matters. Households, businesses and governments are making real decisions about how to connect: where to invest, what to regulate and which technology to rely on. Those decisions need a fair, like-for-like comparison. Satellite should be measured the same way as terrestrial broadband, across voice, data, media and, increasingly, AI services.

P3 closes that gap. Based on real customer sessions from the P3 Crowd Fixed-Line Benchmark in weeks 37–40 of 2026, this report rates Starlink in 127 countries on the same 10,000-point P3 Score used for every access technology. It compares Starlink with established fixed-line ISPs, continent by continent. It also shows where Starlink already matches the incumbents and where the remaining gap sits, so the results hold up to C-level scrutiny. The report is aimed at network operators, satellite providers, regulators, investors and connectivity professionals.
