Elon Musk says ‘several thousand’ more Starlink internet beta invitations will be sent out this week in the US “” and that the service could reach Europe by February

Elon Musk said Monday that SpaceX will send several thousand more invitations out for Starlink's satellite-internet service in the coming days.

Musk also said the Starlink public beta, which is currently confined to northern US and southern Canada, could be in Florida by January, in Europe by February, and in India by the middle of 2021.

SpaceX has told public beta users to expect speeds of between 50 and 150 megabits per second (Mbps), but some users are getting download speed even higher than that.

SpaceX has not said how many people are signed up to the Starlink internet public beta, which costs $600 upfront. Nearly 900 Starlink satellites are currently beaming internet down to Earth.
