The top speed was >200 Mbps for a while."
Details: Kutkov explained that he had purchased equipment for Internet access a long time ago, but it never got a signal until now.
He commented that he decided to test the equipment as soon as he heard about the availability of Starlink in Ukraine.
Ad verbatim: "The other day, Musk wrote that the service is working in Ukraine now. I checked, but it didn’t work. However, I contacted the people at SpaceX, resolved the issues and this is my first official test."
Background: Deputy Prime Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov asked American businessman Elon Musk to provide Ukraine with access to Starlink high-speed Internet. Musk responded and sent the equipment to Ukraine.
According to Fedorov, the first Starlink terminals arrived in Ukraine on 28 February.
