- nitrogen 10y agoIf the satellites are in LEO, latency won't be that bad. At 700km height mentioned elsewhere in the thread, added latency might be 10-20ms based on halving the numbers at https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r100277-Whats-the-latency-predicted-with-LEO-satellites https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r100277-Whats-the-latency-p... (from 16 years ago).
