Elon Musk's Starlink releases smaller and lighter V5 residential kit — offers speeds of up to 375 Mbps and almost half the power consumption of V4

Starlink Standard 4 vs. Starlink V5.

The SpaceX satellite internet service Starlink has just introduced its latest residential kit, letting users connect to the satellite network using a smaller and lighter terminal. The company announced the Starlink V5 on X, saying that it could hit up to 375+ Mbps for “streaming, video calling, gaming, and more.” It’s currently available in select areas only, though, with wider availability expected later as the company ramps up production.
