A recent study analysed 6.1 million traceroutes and 10.8 million DNS queries over Starlink, finding infrastructure-proximity matters—regions with nearby PoPs delivered far better web performance than remote zones.
Implications for Mini deployments & battery sellers: (i) mobile users should not assume “connect anywhere – same performance” — power planning must account for slower backhaul scenarios; (ii) battery packs should support sessions where DNS/PoP causes higher latency or slower speed, meaning longer runtime; (iii) educative content should advise users on expectation-setting: remote usage ≠ terrestrial fiber speeds.
