Explainer: How Starlink enforces speed limits and what the Ukraine GPS hack really is

NextBigFuture detailed Starlink's speed enforcement: terminals report GNSS data, while the network cross-checks it against satellite handover cadence and Doppler shift. Engineer Oleg Kutkov called claims about boards that make terminals appear stationary incorrect; real mods improve GPS reception under jamming.

• Consumer Roam and Priority plans cap speed at 100 mph (160 km/h)
• The network cross-checks GPS reports against LEO handovers and Doppler shift
• Kutkov: real mods improve GPS reception, not spoof coordinates
• Starshield is controlled by the US military; commercial Starlink is not
