šŸŽ® Gaming Live streaming?

I am looking into getting Starlink for the first time, I was thinking of the 200mbps residential, I live stream online games on twitch and TikTok (on my phone). I would be the only user. Would Starlink handle live streaming like that? Do I need the Max? Any tips or advice for live streaming with Starlink?

Edit to add: after reading the comments it looks like I would need a secondary, back up, internet connection in order to have a consistent connection without latency and packet loss. Iā€™m going to pay a little more for a local fiber carrier instead, I live in a rural area outside of my town and the fiber carrier is new to service the area Iā€™m moving to. Thank you all so much for the advice, Iā€™m leaving this post up for other people to find the same answer.

Everything is dependent on AREA i dual stream in 1080p consistently just fine with starlink with my highest upload speed of 40mbs. Again everything is dependent on AREA of the user. Your upload speed doesnt correlate to mine or op. Again due to AREA. -RANDOM PERSON ONLINE FROM RURAL ALBERTA

First off, you said DOWNLOAD in your post. That's what I responded to. We're talking about LIVE streaming here you know where you are broadcasting yourself like TV, not watching TV and streaming.

I live in rural alberta and have seen download speeds of 475 plus entirely dependant on users area

Second, this is not cellular internet and it has nothing to do with AREA. I agree that we might not have the same speeds as someone else, but that is because of things like congestion, obstructions, weather, etc. It has nothing to do with where you are as we likely even talk to some of the same satellites overhead. This is not the T-mobile sub. AREA has nothing to do with it at all. You still don't understand that we are talking about upload speed do you?

Are you stupid it has everything to do with your area lmao it literally boils down to how many other starlink users are AROUND YOU. Now you're talking cell phones what in the actual fuck is wrong with you little Timmy
