This paper [1] This paper evaluates the Flat High Performance (FHP)
terminal's performance in Finland, Northern Europe.

*Abstract*
"Starlink has introduced the Flat High Performance (FHP) terminal,
specifically designed to support the vehicles and the vessels in motion as
well as the high-demand stationary users. The research on FHP terminal
throughput analysis remains limited, only a few existing studies evaluate
FHP, focusing on the limited parameters and scenarios. This paper evaluates
the FHP terminal's performance in Finland, Northern Europe. We examine
round-trip time (RTT), uplink, and downlink throughput for both stationary
and in-motion use. We measure network efficiency across six geographically
diverse servers and get insights of network routing strategies. Our results
show that Starlink provides high-speed, low-RTT connectivity, however, the
throughput experiences fluctuations with slight degradation when in motion.
Additionally, we compare Starlink and terrestrial network RTT and possible
routing paths."
