Urban users grew faster than rural users in every state but Alaska and Hawaii. • Starlink latency improved in nearly every state. Median multi-server latency improved year-over-year in 49 states and Washington, D.C. SpaceX's next-gen Starlink V3 sats will help improve speeds and latency significantly.
