Satellite vs. 6G Ground-Based Internet — here's how they stack up.
Unwired Access delivers ultra-reliable 6G internet over licensed wireless infrastructure. Designed for fixed locations, homes, and businesses — with low latency, unlimited usage, and no equipment fees.
Starlink uses satellite technology, which makes it a good fit for RVers and remote cabins. But for day-to-day internet at a fixed location, it comes with trade-offs: high equipment cost, data limits, higher latency, and inconsistent upload speeds.
| Feature | Unwired Access | Starlink |
|---|---|---|
| Latency (Delay) | < 30ms – smooth video calls and gaming | 60–90ms+ – noticeable lag, especially in games and calls |
| Download Speeds | Up to 1000 Mbps | 20–200 Mbps (varies by congestion) |
| Upload Speeds | 500 Mbps | 5–20 Mbps (often slower at peak hours) |
| Data Limits | Unlimited – no caps, no throttling | Limited – deprioritized after data caps |
| Item | Unwired Access | Starlink |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | $0 – Free standard install | $$$+ – Upfront equipment charge |
| Monthly Equipment Fees | $0 – Included | Optional $15/month (if leased) |
| Contract | No contract – cancel anytime | No contract – but steep startup cost |
Unwired Access is ideal for homes, small businesses, remote work, online learning, and streaming. It’s fast, stable, and backed by local support.
Starlink shines when it’s your only option — like in an RV, off-grid cabin, or campsite. But for day-to-day reliability and performance, ground-based wireless is the better long-term solution.
With Unwired Access, you get local support from technicians who live and work in your community. No bots. No waiting weeks for help.
Starlink offers email-only support with long response times. Hardware returns and troubleshooting can be slow and frustrating.
