Starlink speed test
and help in Zimbabwe
Check the connection reaching your device. Understand Wi-Fi bottlenecks, plan the total cost and estimate how long backup power will last.
Check your Starlink connection before you compare.
Measure download, upload, ping and jitter. Then use the calculators to understand what your result means.
Why do Starlink speed tests give different results?
Test the connection you use
This browser test measures the path from your device to the internet, including your Wi-Fi. Pause background transfers and compare near the router or on Ethernet when supported.
Compare with the Starlink app
The app's default test checks router-to-internet speed. Its advanced device-to-router test helps isolate Wi-Fi. Different paths and test servers can produce different results.
Check the dish and repeat
Use the app's obstruction check and review its alerts. Repeat under similar conditions at another time. A single result cannot establish typical speeds across Zimbabwe.
Starlink carried 197.78 PB in Q1 2026.
POTRAZ's national fixed-internet traffic measure provides context for satellite internet use.
Traffic volume is not a subscriber count, a speed measurement or proof of availability at your address.
Starlink in Zimbabwe: common questions
Can I check Starlink availability for my address here?
Use Starlink's official Zimbabwe site to enter your service address and see the offers available there. This site does not maintain an address-level availability map.
How much does Starlink cost in Zimbabwe?
Check your current offer for the kit, shipping, installation and recurring service. Enter those figures in the Starlink cost calculator. Its sample prices are illustrative.
Why is my browser test slower than the Starlink app?
The tests can measure different paths. The browser includes the connection from your device through Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Use the app's advanced tests to investigate whether Wi-Fi is the limiting part.
Can Starlink run on a battery during a power cut?
Runtime depends on the battery, power conversion and the load of your particular kit. Use the battery calculator for an estimate, and check that your power source meets the kit's input requirements.
Will Starlink guarantee a particular gaming ping?
No single local test guarantees latency to a game's server. Server location, Wi-Fi, network conditions and interruptions matter. Compare ping and jitter over several tests and in the game you use.
