However, it seems like residents in Newfoundland, Canada, can take advantage of Elon Musk's broadband at a faster speed.

As of the moment, the speed of Starlink still depends on your location. This is why the Tesla CEO is making drastic efforts to enhance the internet service further.

Musk promised that Starlink would soon have a regular speed of 300Mpbs and a low latency of 20ms as early as 2022. SpaceX confirmed this detail in a recent talk with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

On the other hand, they are also planning to reach around 10Gbps. But, this would still take a long time. If you want to see more details, you can visit this link.
