Work-Day Reliability Report

Every minute of every workday: latency, jitter, loss and outages on one Starlink Residential connection, published by hour with the raw data. Speed tests show a few seconds; this shows the work day.

Status

No month has been published yet. The owner’s logger hasn’t completed a month of work-day data. Nothing on this site is graded until it has, and no number here is ours until then.

Logger not started

When the first month closes with at least 20 logged workdays, this page shows its heatmap, verdicts, longest outages and CSV. Months with fewer logged days are published as partial and kept out of search.

What each month will publish

  • By hour of the work day (8am–6pm, weekdays): latency p50 and p95, jitter, the share of minutes with more than 1% loss, call-ready minutes and freeze/drop minutes.
  • Day by day: an uptime strip graded against our published thresholds.
  • Outages longer than 5 and 60 seconds, with times.
  • Hourly upload and download tests to a server we control.
  • The raw minute-by-minute CSV under CC BY 4.0.
How to read the hour-of-day heatmap (layout sketch, not data)Columns are work hours from 8am to 5pm. Rows are measures: latency, jitter, lossy minutes and call-ready share. Each cell prints its value; darker shading means worse. A darker vertical band means a bad hour across all workdays.Layout sketch only. No measurements.8am9am10am11am12pm1pm2pm3pm4pm5pmLatency p95JitterLoss >1%Call-readya bad hour shows as a column
Read across a row to see how one measure changes through the day; read down a column to see whether one hour is bad on every measure. The real heatmap prints the number in every cell.

Meanwhile: published figures (not ours)

  • Starlink says US median peak-hour latency was 25.7 ms (checked Oct 5, 2026), with under 1% of measurements above 55 ms.
  • Ookla measured a 39 ms median latency and 21.46 Mbps median upload for Starlink in the US in Q1 2026.
  • APNIC’s Geoff Huston (not US-specific) measured latency shifting every 15 s, about 6.7 ms average jitter and a little over 1% packet loss.

Medians hide the bad minutes that end calls. That gap is what the report is for.

What this report is not

It is one connection at one home. It is not your county, your state or “rural America”. Speeds and surcharges in your area are covered by Starlink Availability USA.
