<p dir="ltr">Starlink usage skyrocketed this year, with its internet traffic more than tripling, according to internet infrastructure company Cloudflare.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Global traffic from SpaceX's satellite internet service "grew 3.3x in 2024," as stated by the company's annual internet trends report. </p>

<p dir="ltr">The company "continues to be the leading satellite internet service provider, bringing connectivity to unserved or underserved areas."</p>

<p dir="ltr">Global traffic increased at a "steady, consistent" rate throughout the year. In certain countries, traffic has also increased dramatically, most likely owing to a "pent-up" desire for an alternative to ground-based internet services, which frequently fail to reach rural and distant locations. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Starlink's global Internet traffic increases by 3.3x in 2024</em></p>

<p dir="ltr">"For instance, Starlink service became available in Malawi in July 2023, and throughout 2024, Starlink traffic from the country grew 38x," Cloudflare informs me. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Georgia's Starlink traffic increased "over 100x," while Paraguay's increased by "over 900x" throughout the year. </p>

<p dir="ltr">The 3.3x surge outpaces Starlink's traffic growth in 2023, which almost tripled from the previous year, according to Cloudflare data. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Last month, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell stated that Starlink is close to achieving 5 million global subscribers, up from more than 2 million when the business initially reported breaking the mark in September 2023.</p>
